The number of the cows is 63 and the number of the horses is 37.
Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Given that:-
The number of horses and cows will be calculated by forming the expression from the given data in the question. So the two expressions are as follows.
h + c = 100
500h + 200c = 31000
Solving the above two equations by substitution method:-
h = 100 - c
Put the value of h in the second equation:-
500 ( 100 - c ) + 200c = 31000
50000 - 500c + 200c = 31000
50000 - 300c = 31000
50000 - 31000 = 300c
c = 19000 / 300
c = 63
Put the value of c in the first equation we will get the number of the horses.
h + c = 100
h + 63 = 100
h = 100-67 = 37
Therefore the number of the cows is 63 and the number of the horses is 37.
