Answer: 7 pigeons sitting on the branches, 5 pigeons under the tree

=12 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Upper branch has x pigeons, lower has y.

Top branch said: "If one of you flies up to us our number will be double yours":

Well, if one of the bottom branch flies up, the top branch will have x+1 birds and the bottom will have (y−1). The top will have double the bottom, so:

x+1=2(y−1)

Top branch said: "If one of us flies down to you, our numbers will be equal":

Now, the top branch will have x−1 and the bottom y+1. The numbers should be equal:

x−1=y+1

Sally is having a problem with her puppy leaving the yard so she decides to build a new fence. The length of the yard is 8 feet

Please check the attached file for the diagram of Sally's yard.

Let $w$ be the width of the yard.

Let $l$ be the length.

We are given that the length of the yard is 8 feet more than 4 times the width. Let us convert this into a mathematical equation.

4 times the width will be $4w$ . Now, 8 feet, or 8 more than 4 times the width will be $4w+8$ . We know that this is the value of the length of the yard and thus we can write this as:

$l=4w+8$

As we can see we have found the relationship between the length, $l$ and the width, $w$ of the yard.

We have been told that the total length of the fence required for the yard is 106 feet. This obviously means that the perimeter of the rectangular yard is 106 feet.

Now, we know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter= $2(l+w)=2((4w+8)+w)$ this is because we know that the length, $l$ is given by $l=4w+8$ .

Continuing further we get:

$106=8w+16+2w=10w+16$ This is because Perimeter=length of the fence=106 (given)

Therefore, $10w=90$

or, $w=9$ so, we just now found the width of the yard which is 9 feet. We are required to find the length. We can easily find the length using the relationship between $w$ and $l$ which is:
