Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.

Answer:
Equations:
y + 10x = 23
y + 15x = 33
cost of basket with 25 apples = $53
Step-by-step explanation:
A basket with 10 apples cost $23 and a basket with 15 apples cost $33. Note that these costs also include the cost of the basket, which is same in both case. Let the cost of empty basket with "y" and cost of each apple be "x"
Cost of basket and 10 apples is $23. We can transform this statement into an equation as:
y + 10x = 23 Equation 1
Similarly,
Cost of basket and 15 apples is $33. This gives us another equation:
y + 15x = 33 Equation 2
Subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2 , we get:
y + 15x - (y +10x) = 33 - 23
5x = 10
x = 2
Using the value of x in equation 1, we get:
y + 10(2)= 23
y = 23 - 20
y = 3
This means, cost of basket is $3 and cost of each apple is $2.
Now we can calculate the cost of basket with 25 apples, which will be:
Cost of basket + Cost of 25 apples = Total Cost
3 + 25(2) = 3 + 50 = $53
