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

Answer:

D. x^2 + 3x - 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length (l) * width (w)

Length of rectangle = (x - 8)

Width = (x + 11)

Area of rectangle = (x - 8)(x + 11)

Expand the expression

x(x + 11) -8(x + 11) (distributive property of multiplication)

x^2 + 11x - 8x - 88

Combine like terms

x^2 + 3x - 88

Expression for the area of the rectangle = x^2 + 3x - 88
