Answer:
$0.85
Step-by-step explanation:
Chickens have 1 head and 2 legs
rabbits had 1 head and 4 legs
total heads is 30
c+r=30
total legs is 98
2c+4r=98
divide by 2
c+2r=49
multiply top equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation
-c-r=-30
<u>c+2r=49 +</u>
0c+1r=19
r=19
sub back
c+r=30
c+19=30
minus 19
c=11
11 chickens
19 rabbits
X= a number
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
Multiply everything by 3 to eliminate the fraction
(3/1)((2x+4)/3) + (3)(x+2)= (3)(20)
2x+4+3x+6= 60
5x+10=60
Subtract 10 from both sides
5x=50
divide both sides by 5
x=10
Check:
Substitute answer in original equation
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
(2(10)+4)/3+(10+2)= 20
(20+4)/3+12= 20
24/3+12= 20
8+12= 20
20=20
Hope this helps! :)
