Answer:
x + y = 3 (1)
55x + 40y = 135 (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x to represent the number of hours driving on a highway and y to represent the number of hours driving on other roads and the total time for driving is 3 hours,
x + y = 3 (1)
Also, You drive 55 miles per hour on highways and 40 miles per hour on the rest of the roads, the distance moved on highways is 55x and the distance moved on the rest of the roads is 40y (since distance = speed × time).
Since the total distance moved is 135 miles, we have
55x + 40y = 135 (2)
So, the system of linear equations that represent the situation is
x + y = 3 (1)
55x + 40y = 135 (2)
Answer: I think it’s -28n-49m+56
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the 7 to all the numbers in parenthesis
Let the number of goats be 'x'.
Therefore, the number of chicken will be 50-x
Total number of legs the goats will have= 4x (goats have 4 legs)
Total number of legs chickens will have= 2(50-x) (chickens have two legs).
4x + 2(50-x)=140
4x+100-2x=140
2x+100=140
2x=40
x=20.
There are 20 goats and 30 chickens.
