Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to list some equations. Letting variable d stand for dogs and p stand for parrots, we have:

d+p=40 (The number of dogs plus the number of parrots equals 40)

4d+2p=130 (Each dog has 4 legs and each parrot has 2 legs and they have 130 legs in total)

With this system of equations, we can quickly solve it for d and p.

Subtract:

 4d+2p=130

- d+p=40

_________

3d+p=90,

p=90-3d

Substitution:

d+(90-3d)=40

90-2d=40

-2d=-50

d=25

Substitution to get p:

p+25=40

p=15

There you have it! There are 25 dogs and 15 parrots. To check our work,

25+15=40

4(25)+2(15)=100+30=130

I hope this helped! :)

Answer: There are 32 dogs and 1 Parrot

Step-by-step explanation: I had a question like this in a math class. What you first do is to recognize that- parrots have 2 legs and dogs have 4. We can do 130/2 = 65 and 130/4= 32.5. Now we know that if there was only one animal, there would be 65 parrots, and 32 dogs- one with half of the legs. Since there is a .5 for the dogs, if we put in one parrot, it would mean that there is exactly 130.

(32 x 4)+(2x1) = 130.  There are 32 dogs and 1 Parrot. I hope this answer is ✅ and helps, i just joined the community and this is the first person I answered. Good Luck!!

3(x-4) = x + 14<br> How do you solve this equation
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to isolate the variable

3(x-4)=x+14

distribute

3x-12=x+14

subtract 14 from each side

3x-26=x

subtract 3x from each side

-26=-2x

divide each side by -2

13=x

flip sides

x=13

hope this helps!!! :)
