Answer:

He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

C =  number of cats.

P = number of penguins.

We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:

C + P = 40

We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)

Then we have the equation:

40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P

Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:

(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P

40 = 4*C

Now with this, we can find the value of C.

40/4 = C = 10

Then he has 10 cats.

Now we can replace this in the equation:

P + C = 40

to find the value of P

P + 10 = 40

P = 40 - 10 = 30

P = 30

He has 30 penguins.

Given: If x, then not y, if not y, then z.<br> Y is true. So:
Fed [463]

If x, then not y, if not y, then z. Y is true. So: X is true, Z is True

<h3>How to Interpret Conditional Statements?</h3>

A conditional statement is a type of structure to express the relationship between two dependent variables. Its structure is as follows:

If P, then Q...

Now, from the question we are told that;

If x, then not y, if not y, then z.

Y is true. So:

Now, when looking at conditional statements in depth, and comparing to this question we can easily see that since Y is true, then it means that if X is true, then Z is also true.

Thus,

If x, then not y, if not y, then z.

Y is true. So: X is true, Z is True
