Since there are more parakeets than canaries, it is not possible to have only 1 of each bird in each cage <u>and</u> have the same number of birds in each cage.

He could use 42 cages, putting a canary in with the parakeet in 18 of them. Then he would have 18 cages with 2 birds each, and 24 cages with 1 bird each.

The only way to have the same number of birds (1) in all cages is to have 60 cages, 42 of which have 1 parakeet, and 18 of which have 1 canary.

_____

If more than 1 of each kind of bird can be put in the cage, the collection of birds could be put into 6 cages, each of which would be home to 7 parakeets and 3 canaries.

Find the value of x.<br> 33°<br> 107°<br> x
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up 180 :

180 = 107 + 33 + y

y = 180 - (107+33)

y = 180 - 140

y = 40

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 so :

180 = x + y

180 = x + 40

x= 180 - 40

x = 140

Hope this helped and have a good day
