Answer:

There are 8 friends and the presents costs $30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students and y be the price of the present. Their contributions can be expressed as:

$3000x=y-6000\ \ \ \ \ \ ...i\\\\4000x=y+2000\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \...ii$

#Make y the subject in equation i then substitute in ii:

$y=3000x+6000\\\\\#substitute \ in \ ii\\\\4000x=y+2000\\\\4000x=(3000x+6000)+2000\\\\1000x=8000\\\\x=8\\\\y=3000\times 8+6000\\\\y=30000$

Hence, there are 8 friends and the present is priced at $30,000

Dwayne's family has many pets. at the house they have both cats and birds. between all the cats and birds, they have 16 eyes and

densk [106]

Let C be the number of cats and B be the number of birds.
Each cat has 4 legs while each bird has 2 legs. Thus,
4C + 2B = 22
2B = 22 - 4C

Each cat and each bird has 2 eyes
2C + 2B = 16
Substituting 2B
2C + 22 - 4C = 16
2C = 6
C = 3
2B = 22 - 4(3)
B = 5

2 cats and 5 birds
