Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs.. ok
so how far Mrs. drove will be X
and Mr. will be Y
but we know that Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs therefor
Y= 3X
and the Sum = 3,200
3,200=X+Y
3,200= X+(3X)
3,200=4X
div both by 4
800=X
now we know how far Mrs drove now to find Mr.
again "Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs"
800 * 3 = 2,400
Answer: 5 branches and 16 birds.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of birds is B, and the number of branches is N.
First we have the equation:
B = 3*N + 1
(3 birds per branch + 1 that was flying around)
for the second equation we have:
B = 4*(N - 1)
(4 birds per branch, but one branch had no birds on it, so there are N -1 branches used)
now we can write:
3*N + 1 = 4*(N - 1)
3*N + 1 = 4*N - 4
4 + 1 = 4*N - 3*N
5 = N
So we had 5 branches, now we can replace it in one of the equations and find the number of birds.
B = 3*N + 1 = 3*5 + 1 = 16
95
Step-by-step explanation:
she would have to get At Least 95 or better to balance it out
