If the rectangle's area is X
then :
x+20=44
-20 -20
x=24
the rectangle's area is 24 square inches.
Hi. In order to solve this word problem, you must make two equations and solve them together. To make it easy, we will let the letter "p" represent the pigs and the letter "c" for the chickens. So our first equation will be:
p + c = 13
Now to count the legs - we know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 so our next equation will be:
2c + 4p = 40
Using the first equation we see that c = 13 - p Now we insert this into the second equation and solve:
2x(13-p) +4 pm = 40
26 - 2p + 4p = 40
2p = 14
p = 7 (there are 7 pigs so now we know there are 6 chickens.
Answer: 7 pigs and 6 chickens
I hope this helps.
Take care,

Answer:
x=20% discount
y=$5 discount
Step-by-step explanation:
let
x= % of discount
y= amount of discount
Price of t shirt in store S=20 - 20x
Price of t shirt in store T= 20 -y
Rose spends $63 for three T-shirts from store S and one from Store T
Store S=20-20x
Store T=20-y
3 shirts from store S=3(20-20x)
1 from Store T=20-y
3(20-20x) + (20-y)=63
60 - 60x + 20-y=63
-60x - y= -17 (1)
Manny spends $140 on five T-shirts from store S and four from Store T
5(20-20x)+4(20-y)=140
100-100x+80-4y=140
-100x - 4y= -40 (2)
Solve eq 1 and 2
-60x - y= -17
-100x - 4y= -40
Multiply (1) by -4
-4(-60x-y)= -17*-4
240x+4y=68 (3)
-100x-4y=-40 (2)
Subtract (2) from (3)
140x=28
x=28/140
x= 0.2
substitute the value of x in (1)
-60x - y= -17
-60(0.2)-y=-17
-12-y=-17
-y=-17+12
-y=-5
Divide both sides by -1
-y/-1=-5/-1
y=5
Therefore,
x=0.2=20% discount
y=$5
