The zoo has zebras, lions, and vultures in the Africa exhibit. There are 18 total animals, with 60 total legs. The number of zebras is equal to twice the number of lions.

Respuesta :

The zoo has 8 zebras, 4 lions, and 6 vultures in the Africa exhibit.

Equation

An equation is an expression that is used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of zebra, y represent the number of lions and z the number of vultures.

There are 18 total animals with 60 legs, hence:

x + y + z = 18     (1)

4x + 4y + 2z = 60    (2)

Also:

x = 2y

x - 2y = 0    (3)

From the 3 equations:

x = 8, y = 4, z = 6

The zoo has 8 zebras, 4 lions, and 6 vultures in the Africa exhibit.
