Hey there!!
A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet
For heads, total = 40
Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '
x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )
2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )
Multiply the first equation with 2
2x + 2y = 80
2x + 4y = 150
Subtract the first equation from the first
2y = 70
y = 35
Number of goats = 35
substitute this in other equation
x + y = 40
x + 35 = 40
x = 5
Number of chickens are 4
Hope it helps!
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
22+54x=20+60x
54x=-42+60x
-6x=-42
x=7
X+3y=7
x-3y=1
add them together
x+3y=7
<u>x-3y=1 +
</u>2x+0y=8
2x=8
divide 2
x=4
subsitute
x+3y=7
4+3y=7
subtract 4
3y=3
divid 3
y=1
x=4
y=1
answer is A
