I got b i did this question before but dont take my word for it im not one hundred percent sure
Let's assume
number of birds with 2 wings is x
number of birds with 4 wings is y
A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds
so,
Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x
Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y
The specimens have a total of 4384 wings
so, we get
we can divide both sides by 2
so, we get system of equations as
we can solve for x and y
We can subtract both equations
so,
number of birds with 2 wings is 1824
number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer
Answer:
the third one
Step-by-step explanation:
7x+1000+x=89000
7x+x+1000-1000=89000-1000
8x=88000
8x/8=88000/8
x=$11000

x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer
x = 2
y = 1
