Answer:
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pen had chickens and bulls. The pen contains 40 animals in total. The number of legs in the pen is 130 .
Let
a = number of chicken
b = number of bull
a + b = 40................(i)
A chicken has 2 legs and a bull has 4 legs.
The total legs can be represented as
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
combine the equation
a + b = 40................(i)
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
a = 40 - b
insert the value of a in equation(ii)
2(40 - b) + 4b = 130
80 - 2b + 4b = 130
80 + 2b = 130
2b = 130 - 80
2b = 50
divide both sides by 2
b = 50/2
b = 25
Insert the value of b in equation (i)
a + b = 40
a + 25 = 40
a = 40 - 25
a = 15
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
To find the original price, you could use a variable to represent the original price in this equation;
Let p represent the original price
.70 × p=11.20
to solve this, we'd isolate the variable (p)
p=11.20 ÷.70
p=16
The original price was $16
A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles
b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4
c. a + j = 28
a = j + 4
d. (j + 4) + j = 28
2j + 4 = 28
2j = 28 - 4
2j = 24
j = 24/2
j = 12
a = j + 4
a = 12 + 4
a = 16
e. check..
a + j = 28
16 + 12 = 28
28 = 28 (correct)
solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
james' miles (j) = 12
