- east= x
west= 2x
north= 4x
south=4x
x+2x+4x+4x=99
11x=99
x=9
east= 9
west= 18
north = south=36 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- E= East, W= West, N= North, S= South
Total birds= 99
Birds fly in E+W+N+S= 99
therefore,
E+2E+4E+4E=99; we get E= 9
hence, west side= 2*(east) = 18
North = south = 4*(East) = 36
N=36, S= 36, W=18, E= 9 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)

- east dir = x
west dir = 2x
north and south have 4x
x + 4x +4x +2x =11x
x=9
east - 9
west = 18
nourh and south have 36 and 36 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 99 ofcourse bcz all fly
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
