Let l, t, b represent the numbers of lions, tigers, bears, respectively.
2l +3t +3b = 156 . . . . . . . 156 meals per day are supplied
l +t = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there are 3 times as many great cats as bears
l +t +b = 68 . . . . . . . . . . . there are a total of 68 animals
_____
The last 2 equations tell you
.. 4b = 68
.. b = 17
Subtracting 3 times the last equation from the first gives
.. -l = -48
There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears.
You would have to Find the GCF
1/8
50% is the same as 1/2, so you just multiply 1/2 by 1/4 to get the answer. First, multiply the numerators. 1*1 is 1. Then, multiply the denominators. 2*4 is 8. So, your answer is 1/8. If you want to check this, multiply 1/8 by 2 and you will get 1/4.

Answer:
x= -2, y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4x-3
y = -2x+1
Set the two equations equal to each other
-4x-3 = -2x+1
Add 4x to each side
-4x-3 +4x = -2x+1+4x
-3 = 2x+1
Subtract 1 from each side
-3-1 = 2x+1-1
-4 =2x
Divide by 2
-4/2 = 2x/2
-2 =x
Now find y
y = -4x-3
y = -4(-2) -3
y = 8 -3
y =5
