So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19
red=19
blue=8
The answer is 36 because you have to multiply it and divide getting your the answer.
Answer:
This is a trial and error problem
we can divide 30 eyes by 2 eyes on each animals to know that there is 15 animals
15 animals now make a random guess
Find out the difference of feet. 1 dog has 4 feet - 2 chicken feet = 2 feet increase or decrease so if we need to increase by 2 we add 1 dog and if we need to subtract to then we add 1 chicken
11 dogs and 4 chickens
that is 44 feet + 8 feet = 52 feet
52 - 44 feet needed = 8 feet
8 / 2 feet decrease = 4 more chickens needed
11 - 4 (subtracting 4 dogs off)= 7
4 + 4 (replacing the dogs with chickens)= 8
7 dogs and 8 chickens
7 x 4 = 28
8 x 2 = 16
28 + 16 = 44
7 dogs and 8 chickens
Hope this helps
