x=# of pigs

y=# of chickens

x+y=220

Pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs.

4x+2y=520

x+y=220

Multiply each term of x+y=220 by -2.

-2x-2y=-440

4x+2y=520

add the two equations

2x=80

x=40 pigs

220-40=180 chickens

Another solution...

x+y=220

4x+2y=520

x=220-y

4(220-y)+2y=520

880-4y+2y=520

880-2y=520

-2y=-880+520

-2y=-360

y=180 chickens

220-180=40 pigs

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The constant term in the polynomial is 140 and it represents the revenue when the price is not increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find: What is the constant term in the polynomial expression, and what does it represent?

The given expression is -8x^2 + 54x + 140.

To find the constant term we can simply put x=0 in the given equation where x represents the number of $1 increase in price.

=-8(0)^2 + 54(0) + 140

=140

The constant term is 140 and it represents the revenue when the cost of a hot dog is $2.

Hence, the constant term in the polynomial is 140 and it represents the revenue when the price is not increased.
