Answer: old McDonald has 54 chickens and 2 cows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of chickens that old McDonald have.

Let y represent the number of cows that old McDonald have.

He counted 56 heads. A chicken and a cow has one head each. It means that

x + y = 56

He counted 116 legs. A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs. It means that

2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(56 - y) + 4y = 116

112 - 2y + 4y = 116

- 2y + 4y = 116 - 112

2y = 4

y = 4/2 = 2

x = 56 - y = 56 - 2

x = 54

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5x^3 +1, g(x) = – 2x^2, and h(x) = - 4x^2 – 2x +5

f(-8) = 5(-8)^3 +1 = 5 *(-512) +1 =-2560+1 =-2559

g( -6) = -2 ( -6) ^2 = -2 ( 36) = -72

h(9) = -4( 9)^2 -2(9) +5 = -4 ( 81) -18+5 = -324-18+5=-337
