12 three credit classes and two 2 credit classes
EXPLINATION:
12x3=36
2x2=4
And when you add you’re products together you get you get 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Just sum the number of cows and buffaloes:
2p^2 - p + 4 + p^2 + p + 1 = 3p^2 +5 animals.
There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x = 
8(
) + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13
