Answer:
43 cows and 18 ducks

Explanation:
Let c represent the number of cows in the farmhouse.
Let d represent the number of ducks in the farmhouse.

We know that:
- there are a total of 61 animals in the farmhouse
- one cow has 4 legs
- one duck has 2 legs
- there are a total of 208 legs

Using the information above, we can create two equations:

c+d=61
4c+2d=208

1) multiply the first equation by 2
If we do this, both equations will have 2d and we can subtract them to solve for c.

c+d=61
2c+2d=122

2) Subtract the first equation from the second

4c+2d=208
2c+2d=122
2c=86
c=43

Therefore, the number of cows in the farmhouse is equal to 43.

2) plug 43 into the first equation to solve for d
We can plug 43 into either of the original questions to find the number of ducks, but in this case, it would be easier to solve for in the first equation.

c+d=61
43+d=61
Subtract both sides by 43
43+d-43=61-43
d=18

Therefore, the number of ducks in the farmhouse is equal to 18.

I hope this helps!

Write your answer with no spaces and any fraction with “/“
Archy [21]

Answer:

The slope is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Disclaimer: Just for this response, I'm going to write it the same way you write a fraction out on paper just so it's easier to see.

First, you plot the two coordinates on the graph:

(0,0) and (2,1)

The formula for slope is \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

Now we plug in numbers accordingly:

\frac{0 - 1}{0 - 2}

Simplify:

\frac{-1}{-2} \\

Simplify:

\frac{1}{2}

Let me know if you have any questions
