Elimination:
7x - 3y = 20
5x + 3y = 16
(add)
12x = 36
÷ 12
x = 3
(5 × 3) + 3y = 16
15 + 3y = 16
- 15
3y = 1
÷ 3
y = 1/3
Substitution:
5x + 3y = 16
- 3y
5x = 16 - 3y
÷ 5
x = 3.2 - 0.6y
5(3.2 - 0.6y) + 3y = 16
16 - 3y + 3y = 16
16 = 16
- 16
6y = 0
÷ 6
y = 0
Sorry the substitution messed up for some reason, I'll fix it after I've answered the other question

Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio is 16/20=4/5
25×4/5=20
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
chickens + goats = 13
so...
c + g = 13, so...
g = (13 - c)
2 legs times the number of chickens (2c) + 4 legs times the number of goats (4g) = 48 total legs. So...
2c + 4(13-c) = 48, so
2c + 52 - 4c = 48, so
-2c = -4, so
2c = 4, so
c = 2.
There are 2 chickens, and therefore 11 goats.
