c = 2d
(d-29) = 2(c-166)
Now just solve for c and d
(d-29) = 2(c-166)
Now just solve for c and d
Let's assume the number of ducks the farmer had initially is "D", and the number of chickens is "C".
From the given information, we have two equations:
1) "A farmer has twice as many chickens as ducks": C = 2D
2) "After selling 166 chickens and 29 ducks, he has twice as many ducks as chickens": (C - 166) = 2(D - 29)
To solve this system of equations, we can substitute equation 1) into equation 2) to eliminate C:
(2D - 166) = 2(D - 29)
Now, let's simplify and solve this equation:
2D - 166 = 2D - 58
By canceling out "2D" on both sides, we get:
-166 = -58
This equation is not possible, which means there is no solution. It appears there is an issue with the given information or conditions.
Please double-check the problem statement or provide any additional information to help resolve this issue.
