No, the number of cows in the barn is 27. You can get this number by subtracting the 83 cows he has from the 56 that are out of the barn.
83 - 56 = 27
C (1,8) and (4,5). To interpret a system of equations when shown a graph, look for the points at which the two function intersect or meet. in this case they meet at both points (1,8) and (4,5)
Answer:
x = 8, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 12y = 60
x + 2y = 14
3x - 12y = 60
3x + 6y = 42 (multiply by 3 so the x is the same as the top equation)
6y = 18 (subtract the equations)
y = 18 / 6
= 3
To find x, substitute y into the 2nd equation since it is the simplest so:
x + 2(3) = 14
x + 6 = 14
x = 14 - 6
= 8
