Answer:
5 pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?
Let us represent:
Number of pigs = x
Number of ducks = y
Our system of equations is given as:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks.
x + y = 16...... Equation 1
x = 16 - y
Altogether there are 42 legs.
Ducks have 2 legs(feet) , pigs have 4 legs,
4x + 2y = 42..... Equation 2
We substitute
16 - y for x in Equation 2
Hence:
4(16 - y) + 2y = 42
64 - 4y + 2y = 42
Collect like terms
- 4y + 2y = 42 - 64
-2y =- 22
y = -22/-2
y = 11 ducks
Solving for x.
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 11
x = 5 pigs
Therefore, we have 5 pigs
1. <span>-0.9x+2.8=4.1
First subtract 2.8 from both sides.
-0.9x = 1.3
Now divide both sides by -0.9.
x = -1.4444..
This can be rounded to -1.44
