Answer:
m= - 2, b = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
structure of a linear equation
y = mx + c
m = gradient / slope
c = intercept
<em>convert</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>given </em><em>equation</em><em> </em><em>according </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>structure</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>linear </em><em>equations</em><em> </em>
4x+2y = 8
2y = -4x + 8
y = -2x +4
<em>according</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>this </em><em>intercept</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>and </em><em>slope </em><em>is </em><em>-</em><em>2</em>
Let's assume
number of birds with 2 wings is x
number of birds with 4 wings is y
A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds
so,

Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x
Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y
The specimens have a total of 4384 wings
so, we get

we can divide both sides by 2

so, we get system of equations as


we can solve for x and y
We can subtract both equations





so,
number of birds with 2 wings is 1824
number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer
Answer:
36 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to think backwards to solve this question.
(8 - 2) x 2 = 12
(12 - 2) x 2 = 20
(20 - 2) x 2 = 36
