Hey there!!
A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet
For heads, total = 40
Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '
x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )
2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )
Multiply the first equation with 2
2x + 2y = 80
2x + 4y = 150
Subtract the first equation from the first
2y = 70
y = 35
Number of goats = 35
substitute this in other equation
x + y = 40
x + 35 = 40
x = 5
Number of chickens are 4
Hope it helps!
You can find the approximate value of h in this the same way you could with an algebraic expression.
h - 3 < 5
+3
h < 8
Answer:
$138
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first turn the words into a mathematical equation by substituting words with the information we have:
Total earning - ( Price of three books)
$180 - (Price of one book x 3)
$180 - ($14 x 3)
Finally, after we have created the mathematical equation, we solve it!
$180 - ($14 x 3)
$180 - $42
$138
4-(
)+111
=4-(4)+111
=111 since 4 and -4 cancel each other out
