The peasant had 28 hens and 42 rabbits
<h3>How to determine the number of hens and rabbits?</h3>
Represent hens with h, eggs with e and rabbits with r.
So, we have:
2r = 3h
e = 1/3h
Make h the subject in e = 1/3h
h = 3e
He got 72 pennies.
So, we have:
r + h = 72
Multiply through by 2
2r + 2h = 144
Substitute 2r = 3h in 2r + 2h = 144
3h + 2h = 144
Evaluate the sum
5h = 144
Divide by 5
h = 28.8
Remove decimal
h = 28
Recall that:
2r = 3h
So, we have:
2r= 3 * 28
Divide by 2
r = 3 * 14
Evaluate the product
r = 42
Hence, the peasant had 28 hens and 42 rabbits

Here you go :) Hope I can help
Answer:
x = -3, y = -4
(-3, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
solve each equation for y (the first equation is already solved for y, so just do the second equation)
-x -y =7
<u>+x +x</u>
-y = x + 7 eliminate the negative by switching all signs
y = -x - 7
now that both equations equal y, you can set them equal to each other:
-x - 7 = 3x + 5
solve for x
-x - 7 = 3x + 5 move the variable to one side of the equation
<u>+x +x </u>
-7 = 4x + 5 move the constant to the other side of the equation
<u>-5 -5</u>
-12 = 4x single out x by dividing the whole thing by 4
<u>÷4 ÷4</u>
-3 = x
now substitute -3 for x in one of the original equations (it doesn't matter which equation)
y = 3(-3) +5 solve
y = -9 +5
y = -4
have a wonderful day! :)

This polynomial is already in lowest terms.
Answer: Cannot be factored.
This happens with certain polynomials.
