Answer:16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be X
Twice the sum of a number and 5
= 2X+5
Three times the difference of the number and 2
= 3(X - 2)
Since Twice the sum of X and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the X and 2, This means
2(X + 5 )= 3(X - 2)
2X +10 = 3X - 6
3X -2X = 10 + 6 = 16
X = 16
Check
2×(16+5) =3×(16-2)
2×21 = 3×14
42 = 42

Step-by-step explanation:
Claim: There's 14 Goats and 9 Chickens!!
Data:
Working with the Provided Information.
Let the Number of goats be x
let the Number of Chickens be y
x + y = 23..... (i)
Since the goat Possesses Two Pair of Legs... Which is a Total of 4 Legs... We say Let its Contribution be 4x.
The Chicken has Only a Pair Of Legs...Which is a total of 2 legs.... We say let its contribution be 2y
4x + 2y = 74 .....(ii)
BRINGING BOTH EQUATIONS TOGETHER.
x + y = 23
4x + 2y = 74
From Eqn i
x= 23 - y
Substitute into eqn ii
4(23 - y ) + 2y = 74
92 - 4y + 2y = 74
92 - 2y = 74
2y = 92 - 74
2y = 18
y= 9.
Substitute y into any of the eqns to get x
x + y = 23
x + 9=23
x = 23 - 9
x = 14
This simply proves that there are 14 Goats and 9 Chickens!!!.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
