Answer:
Ahh! What a classic: Systems of Equations!
So, if you don't know what a system of equations is, its basically two equations with two variables combined into a system.
So, let x=# of pigs
And also, Let y=# of chickens
Let's make our first equation!
This is because there are 13 animals in a barn.
So then, knowing that a pig has 4 legs and a chicken 2:
This is because there are 40 legs in total, and we multiply the variable because that's how many legs each creature has.
So, here is our system!
Through Substitution (the inputting of something instead of a variable):
Then, we input it into the next equation:
This means that there are 6 chickens, and by inputting it into the first equation:
So there you have it!
FYI there are 6 chickens and 7 pigs.
Hope this helps!
P.S. Stay Safe!

Answer:
Area of parallelogram is 150 square ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the parallelogram in the figure whose height is 10 ft and base length is 15 ft.
Area of parallelogram is
=
= 150 square ft
now we have to decompose this parallelogram into rectangles and triangles and then to determine the shape.
The given parallelogram KLMN can be decomposed into 2 triangles and one rectangle.
2 right angled triangles KPL and NOM by construction
⇒ (∵ KLMN is a parallelogram)
Hence, dimension of triangles are 10 ft, 2 ft and 10.2 ft
Now rectangle KPON with dimension 15 ft and 10 ft because KP and NO are perpendiculars on LM.
