Answer:

4 goats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Number of quails = x

Number of goats = y

Quails have 2 legs

Goats have 4 legs

Hence:

There are 6 animals in the pen some are quails and some are goats

x + y = 6...... Equation 1

x = 6 - y

if there are 20 legs in all how many quails

2x + 4y = 20..... Equation 2

We substitute 6 - y for x in Equation 2

2(6 - y) + 4y = 20

12 - 2y + 4y = 20

Collect like terms

- 2y + 4y = 20 - 12

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4 goats

The number of goats there are 4 goats

Consider the equations 4(x-3)=16 and 4x-3=16 do they have the same solution? Why or why not ?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: Both the equations when solved have different answers, the solutions for both the equation are given below. In the the first equation  4 (x-3)=16 , 4 is multiplied with both the terms in the bracket. Whereas, in the second equation 4x- 2 = 16  there is no variable to multiply with the LHS equation

Solution:

4 (x-3)=16

4x - 12 = 16

4x = 16 + 12

4x = 28

x = 7


4x - 3 = 16

4x = 16 + 3

4x = 19

x = 19/4

x = 4.75
