write the system of equations that models this situation.

Question

at a local zoo, there are insects and turkeys. if there are a total of 136 feet, andyou count 34 heads. write the system of equations that models this situation.

Answer 1

6x + 2y = 136, x= insects, y = turkeys

3x + y = 68

x +y = 34

subtract

2x =34

x = 17 insects, y =34-17 = 17 turkeys
