There are a total of 44 goats and chickens being raised. between them, they have 134 legs. how many goats are in total? how many chickens in total?

21 chickens and  23 goats=44

21x2=42    23x4=92

42+92 = 134 legs

x=goats     y= chikens     goats 4 legs   chickens 2 legs

x+y=44      x=44-y

4(44-y) + 2(y) =134

176-4y +2y = 134

176-2y=134

-2y= -42

-y= -21

y=21

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
