Step-by-step explanation:
b2 =5
.....................
x + (x + 3) +
= 75
so you will add up all of the x 's but NOT the x^2
2x + 3 +
= 75
Rearrange to put the x^2 in front of 2x
+ 2x + 3 = 75
subtract the 75 from both sides
+ 2x - 72 = 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
chickens + goats = 13
so...
c + g = 13, so...
g = (13 - c)
2 legs times the number of chickens (2c) + 4 legs times the number of goats (4g) = 48 total legs. So...
2c + 4(13-c) = 48, so
2c + 52 - 4c = 48, so
-2c = -4, so
2c = 4, so
c = 2.
There are 2 chickens, and therefore 11 goats.
