Thinking—Level 2 Get Started! Exit A farm raises cows and chickens. The farmer has a total of 40 animals. One day he counts the legs of all his animals and realizes he has a total of 118 legs. How many chickens does the farmer have?

21 pieces of chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The farmer has a total of 40 animals. ( cows and chicken )

He counts the legs of all his animals and realizes he has a total of 118 legs.

Question asked:

How many chickens does the farmer have ?

Solution:

Let number of chickens =

Then  number of cows =

Now, as here given that total number of legs are 118 of all the animals, and as we know that a chicken has two legs and cow has four legs, hence the equation will be :

Total number of legs = Number of legs having chickens + Number of legs having cows

Subtracting both sides by 160

By adding both sides by minus

By dividing both sides by 2

Hence, farmer have 21 pieces of chickens.

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
