Answer:

Option B.  24 horses and 50 humans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of humans

y ----> the number of horses

Remember that

A human has one head and two legs

A horse has one head and four legs

so

x+y=74 ----> equation A

2x+4y=196 -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (50,24)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of humans is 50 and the number of horses is 24

kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>They should make 8 small ones and 12 large ones.</h2><h2>$260 they will make in total.</h2>

They want to make as much money as possible.

Small bird house gives them $10 and large birdhouse give them $15.

Avery has time to decorate 12 birdhouse of either size.

Hence, to maximize the earning, Avery should build 12 large ones.

Sam can make any of the combination below in 24 hours.

4 Large and 1 small bird house, which will make 4 \times 15 + 10 = 70

3 Large and 3 small bird house, which will make 3 \times15 + 3 \times10 = 75

2 Large and 4 small bird house, it will gain 2 \times15 + 4 \times10 = 70

1 Large and 6 small bird house, it will make 1 \times15 + 6 \times10 = 75

8 small bird house, which will gain 8\times10 = 80

The profit will be maximize if Sam build 8 small bird houses.

Thus, they will make 80 + 12\times15 = 260.
