A farmer was asked how many cows and chickens she has. The farmer replied, "between the cows and the chickens, there are 162 eyes and 270 feet." How many cows does she have? How many chickens does she have? (Note: chickens have 2 feet and cows have 4 feet.)

We all know that,

So, Let the no. of cows be x and chickens be y

According to question,

Framing equation,

⇛ Eyes of cows + Eyes of chickens = 162

⇛ 2x + 2y = 162

⇛ 2(x + y) = 162

⇛ x + y = 162/2 = 81 -----------(1)

According to question(Cond.-1)

Framing equation,

⇛ Feet of cows + Feet of chickens = 270

⇛ 4x + 2y = 270

⇛ 2(2x + y) = 270

⇛ 2x + y = 135 ----------(2)

Subtracting eq.(1) from eq.(2),

⇛ 2x + y - (x + y) = 135 - 81

⇛ 2x + y - x - y = 54

⇛ x = 54

Putting value of x in eq.(1),

⇛ 54 + y = 81

⇛ y = 81 - 54

⇛ y = 27

⚘ So, Total number of animals,

Hence, solved !

could u provide us some answer choices or hmm idk maybe a table for us to anser with ? ?

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
