Answer:

number of chicken = 50

number of sheep = 100

number of horse = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of chicken

y = number of sheep

z = number of horse

x + y + z = 154 (1)

2x + 4y + 4z = 516 (2)

the number of sheep equals twice the number of chickens

y = 2x

Substitute into the equation

x + y + z = 154

x + 2x + z = 154

3x + z = 154 (3)

2x + 4y + 4z = 516

2x + 4(2x) + 4z = 516

2x + 8x + 4z = 516

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

3x + z = 154 (3)

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

Multiply (3) by 4 to eliminate z

12x + 4z = 616 (5)

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

Subtract (4) from (5)

12x - 10x = 616 - 516

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

Recall,

y = 2x

y = 2(50)

y = 100

x + y + z = 154

50 + 100 + z = 154

150 + z = 154

z = 154 - 150

z = 4

number of chicken = 50

number of sheep = 100

number of horse = 4

Answer:

y = m x + b equation of a straight line

m m' = -1    condition for perpendicular lines

If y = 4 x - 7     then m = 4 so m' = -.25

Y = -.25 X + A      we need to find A

A = Y + .25 * 8 = 2 + 2 = 4

Y = -.25 X + 4

Check:

2 = -.25 * 8 + 4 = -2 + 4 = 2
