Snow White is sewing stockings for the animals that visit her in the forest. When she looks around, she sees 38 legs. She knows that there are ten total animals: mice, deer, and birds. She also knows there are twice as many deer as mice. How many of each animal are there?

B=1 M=6 D=3

Step-by-step explanation:

the equations are 4M+4D+2B=38

                               M+D+B=10

                              2D=M

step two: 4M+4D+2B=38 (multiply 2nd equation by -4)

               -4M-4D-4B=-40

4M AND 4D cancels out and your left with -2B=-2 B=1

then you take the first equation and subsitute the third equation for M

step three:  M+D+1 =10 (SUBSITUTE B WITH 1)

M+D=9

STEP FOUR: take the last equation (M+D=9) and subsitute 2D=M

2D+D=9

3D=9

D=3

subsitute D=3 into 2D=M  so you get 2(3)=M M=6

DOUBLE CHECK USE THE SECOND EQUATION

M+D+B=1-

6+3+1=10

I’d go with A

Step-by-step explanation:

If I’m right and this is Pythagorean this is what to do sorry if wrong
