Answer 15

"After he sold 166 chickens and 29 ducks, he had half as many chickens as ducks left."

Cf =C -166
Df = D-29
2 *Cf = Df

Answer 16

what is Cf at the top

Cf = final chickens
Df = final ducks

Answer 18

oh - next ???

please try do do it as fast as u can

Answer 20

thank u

Answer 21

Substituting we get:
2*(C-166)= D-29
and we know from before that C = 2D
2*(2D-166)=D-29
simplify and solve for D
4D-332=D-29
4D-303=D
3D= 303
D=101

Answer 22

C=2D
C=2*101
C=202
