Hey there!!
A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet
For heads, total = 40
Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '
x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )
2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )
Multiply the first equation with 2
2x + 2y = 80
2x + 4y = 150
Subtract the first equation from the first
2y = 70
y = 35
Number of goats = 35
substitute this in other equation
x + y = 40
x + 35 = 40
x = 5
Number of chickens are 4
Hope it helps!
I guess positive bcuz - -=+
The answer would be D because you are subtracting a positive 17 from a positive 88
Y=10x+250
The slope represents the amount of money added in per month, and the y-intercept represents the original amount.
Hope this helps!
Answer: To figure out if an ordered pair is a solution to an equation, you could perform a test or experiment . Identify the x-value in the ordered pair and plug it into the equation. When you simplify, if the value you get is the same as the value in the ordered pair, then that ordered pair is indeed a solution to the equation.
