Let  g= geese

b = buffalo

geese have 2 legs and buffalo have 4 legs

g+b = 15   the total number of animals

2g +4b = 56   the total number of legs

Multiply the first equation by -2

-2g -2b = -30

Add the second equation to eliminate g

-2g -2b = -30

2g +4b = 56

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

    2b = 26

Divide by 2

2b/2 = 26/2

 b = 13

There are 13 buffalo

g+b = 15

g+13 = 15

g =2

There are 2 geese and 13 buffalo

During the first hour of this stage, the nurse would assess the woman's fundus every 5 minutes.

<h3>What is Fundus?</h3>

This is referred to the internal structure of a hollow organ such as the uterus in this case. it is usually located at the bottom or the area which is located opposite the aperture of the hollow organ.

It should be checked every 5 minutes to measure the level of contractions and retractions which takes place in the uterus. This is done so as to know the right time for the fetus to be moved to the birth canal during labor of the pregnant female.

The fetus is then expunged to the vagina where the safe delivery of the baby takes place through the help of healthcare or experienced professionals.This is therefore the reason why the fundus should be checked at every 5 minutes interval.

Patrick drives from p to q at an average speed of 40mph.
Bumek [7]

The distance in miles from P to Q is 12 miles

<h3>Distances and speed</h3>

Let the distance from P to Q be "d"

Since the formula for calculating speed is expressed as:

  • s =d/t

For the distance of P to Q

40 = d/t

d = 40t

If he drives back at an average speed of 45mph and 2 mintes less, then;

45 = d/t - 0.033

d = 45 (t - 0.033)

Equating both distances

40t = 45(t - 0.033)

40t = 45t - 1.485

-5t = -1.485
t = 0.297

Get the distance from P to Q:

d = 40(0.297)
d = 11.88 miles

Hence the distance in miles from P to Q is 12 miles
