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

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>r = -</em>\frac{6a}{1-5m^2}<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Rewrite the equation as </em>\sqrt{x} 6a+r/5r<em>  = m</em>

<em>Remove the radical on the left side of the equation by squaring both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>(</em>\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}<em> = m^2</em>

<em>Then, you simplify each of the equation. </em>

<em>Rewrite: (</em>\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}<em> as </em>\frac{6a+r}{5r} = m^{2}<em />

<em>Remove any parentheses if needed.</em>

<em>Solve for r. </em>

<em>Multiply each term by r and simplify."</em>

<em>Multiply both sides of the equation by  5.</em>

<em>6a+r= m^2r⋅(5)</em>

<em>Remove parentheses.</em>

<em>Move 5   to the left of (m ^2)  r </em>

<em>6a+r=5m^2)r</em>

<em>Subtract  5m^2)r  from both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>6a+r-5m^2)r=0</em>

<em>Subtract  6a  from both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>r-5m^2)r=-6a</em>

<em>Factor  r out of  r-5m^2)r  </em>

<em>r(1-5m^2)=-6a</em>

Divide each term by 1-5m^2 and simplify.

r = - \frac{6a}{1-5m^2}

There you go, hope this helps!
