Answer:

  • 14 oxen
  • 8 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of oxen. Then the number of ducks is 22-x and the number of legs is ...

  4x +2(22 -x) = 72

  2x +44 = 72 . . . . . . . simplify

  x +22 = 36 . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 22; the number of oxen

  22-x = 8 . . . . . the number of ducks

There are 8 ducks and 14 oxen in the barn.

1) check if they given ordered pairs are solutions to the equation or not.
ziro4ka [17]
Answer: a) Yes
b) No


Explanation: Substitute the values of X and Y from the given points into the equation. I’ll use a) as an example:
Given point: (1,-3)
Equation: 4x-2y=10
Value of X: 1
Value of Y: -3
Substitute X and Y: 4(1)-2(-3)=10
4-(-6)=10
4+6=10 ✔︎

Therefore, the given ordered pair is a proper solution to the equation 4x-2y=10.

*You can use the same method for question b).*
