Answer:

The solution to this system of equations is:

B = 28
T = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jill has 47 bugs and counts a total 320 legs.

We can concur that by adding the total number of butterflies and the total number of tarantulas, we will get 47 bugs.

$\text{tarantulas + butterflies} = 47$

We are also told that T is tarantulas and B is butterflies.

$T + B = 47$

Then, we also know that butterflies have 6 legs and tarantulas have 8 legs. So, for every tarantula, we get a multiple of 8 and for butterflies, we get a multiple of 6. This gives us a new equation:

$6B + 8T = 320$

Now, we can set up a system of equation.

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{B + T = 47} \atop {6B + 8T = 320}} \right.$

Using the first equation, we can solve for B.

$\displaystyle B + T = 47\\\\B + T - T = 47 - T\\\\B = 47 - T$

Then, we can substitute this value of B into the second equation and solve for T.

$\displaystyle 6(47-T)+8T=320\\\\282 - 6T + 8T = 320\\\\282 + 2T = 320\\\\2T + 282 = 320\\\\2T + 282 - 282 = 320 -282\\\\2T = 38\\\\\frac{2T}{2}=\frac{38}{2}\\\\T = 19$
