There are 15 animals in a barn. These animals are horses and chickens. There are 44 legs in all. Write a system of equations that represents the situation and find out how many animals were horses and how many were chickens?

7 horses and 8 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first you would need to list out all of the available ratios. Then, find out how many legs are in each option.:

14 horses and 1 chicken = 58 legs

13 horses and 2 chickens = 56 legs

12 horses  and 3 chickens = etc.

11 horses and 4 chickens

10 horses and 5 chickens

9 horses and 6 chickens

8 horses and 7 chickens

7 horses and 8 chickens = 44 legs!

6 horses and 9 chickens

5 horses and 10 chickens

4 horses and 11 chickens

3 horses and 12 chickens

2 horses and 13 chickens

1 horses and 14 chickens

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
