Answer:

There are  10 pigs and 30 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pigs be x

let the number of chickens be y

Then there are 40 heads . So the total number of pigs and chickens is 40

x + y = 40-----------------------(1)

We know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs

4x + 2y = 100----------------------(2)

Solving (1) and (2)

multiply  (1) by 2

2x + 2y = 80-------------------------(3)

subtract (3) from (2)

4x + 2y = 100

2x + 2y = 80

----------------------------

2x = 20

----------------------------

x = \frac{20}{2}

x = 10

Now Substituting x in (1), we get

10 + y = 40

y = 40 - 10

y = 30

−2 1/4=r−4/5<br><br> What is r?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

r = -29/20 or r = -1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you are saying that the equation is -2 1/4 = r - 4/5. If so, then I would solve it in this way:

-2 1/4 = r - 4/5

-9/4 = r - 4/5

-9/4 (20) = r (20) - 4/5 (20)

-45 = 20r - 16

20r = -29

r = -29/20

r = -1.45

Check:

-2 1/4 = r - 4/5

-9/4 = r - 4/5

-2.25 = r - 0.8

-2.25 = -1.45 - 0.8

-2.25 = -2.25

-9/4 = -9/4
