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
3y = -2x + 2
y = x + 4 (Substitute the y)
3(x + 4) = -2x + 2 (Distribute)
3x + 12 = -2x + 2 (Add 3 to both sides)
+3x +3x
------------------------------------------
12 = 1x + 2 (Subtract 2 from both sides)
-2 - 2
------------------------
10 = 1x (Divide by 1 on both sides)
10/1 = 1x/1
x = 10
This is your x-coordinate
(9x-2) - (5x+6) =
4x-8 , this is your profit function
