What is an expression?

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:-

  • Cheryl has a horse and cow ranch that contains 100 animals. The value of each horse is $500
  • The value of each cow is $200. If the total value of the 100 animals is $31,000.

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.
