x = 9.
To get there, we can divide both sides by 8, to get from 8x to x.
8x / 8 = 72 / 8.
x = 9
Did u mean -8+3= and -8x3= cuz if so then it’s -8+3=-5 and -8x3=-24 so it would be -8+3
Answer:There are 72 heads (chicken and rabbit) and 200 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are present totally?
Step-by-step explanation
There are 72 heads (chicken and rabbit) and 200 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are present totally?
Legs of a chicken = 2
Legs of a rabbit = 4
Total heads = 72
Total legs= 200
Let's assume that each of them has minimum 2 legs.
So 72*2 = 144 legs
Remaining legs: 200-144= 56
These remaining legs belong to rabbit because rabbit has 4 legs each.
2*Rabbits= 56
Rabbits= 56/2 = 28
Out of 72, 28 are rabbits. So there are 72-28= 44 chicken.
Answer: There are 8 snake and 3 elephants.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Number of snakes
y= Number of elephants
We know that , snake has no legs elephant has 4 legs.
Then, Total animals = x+y=11 (i)
Total legs = 4y = 12
⇒ y=3 .. (ii)[divide both sides by 4]
Substitute value of y from (ii) in (i) , we get
Hence, there are 8 snake and 3 elephants.
