Answer 1

Answer:

Let the total number of crow be x

According to question

1/2x+3/4*x/2+9=x

1/2x+3/8x+9=x

x-7/8x=9

1/8x=9

x=72

Total number of crows are 72

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\star\underline{\orange{❥︎a}\mathfrak\blue{n}\mathfrak\purple{S}\mathbb\pink{wer}}\star\:$

Let the total no of deer be x 

So, we have 

$x - ( \frac{1}{2}x \: + \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} x) \: = 9$

$x - ( \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{8} x) = 9$

$x - \frac{7}{8} x = 9$

$\frac{1}{8} x = 9$

Thus, x=72 deer in the herd.
