Answer:

13 cows, 12 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of animals= 25

Total number of legs= 76

Let the number of cows be x and the number of chickens be y.

x +y= 25 -----(1)

Since each cow has 4 legs and each chicken has 2 legs,

4x +2y= 76 -----(2)

The second equation can be simplified by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

2x +y= 38 -----(3)

Let's solve by elimination!

(3) -(1):

2x +y -(x +y)= 38 -25

Expand:

2x +y -x -y= 13

x= 13

Substitute x= 13 into (1):

13 +y= 25

y= 25 -13

y= 12

Factorise 4b^2 + 16b
lubasha [3.4K]
Factorise 4b² + 16b  ⇒ 4b(b+4)

expand (a-1)(a-2) ⇒ a(a-2) - 1(a-2) ⇒ a² - 2a - 1a + 2 ⇒a² - 3a + 2

factorise x² + 8x + 7 ⇒(x + 1) (x + 7)

evaluate y⁶ / y² ⇒ y * y * y * y * y * y / y * y = y⁴

if x = -1 and y = 5, find z when z = x² + 2y² ;
z = -1² + 2(5²) ⇒ 1 + 2(25) ⇒1 + 50 = 51

Make x the subject: y = 4x - 3
     y = 4x - 3
<u>+3            +3</u>
3 + y = 4x
<u>÷4        ÷4    </u>
(3+y)/4 = x
