Answer: 23
Step-by-step explanation:
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!
Ok so A is the same as the square root of 4b+c but all of the numbers and the answer have to be prime numbers
