Answer»

Answer:

Here's your answer -

72

Explanation:

Let the TOTAL no. of deer in the herd be x.

No. of deer grazing in the field = 1/2 × x

=. x/2

No of deer playing nearby = 3/4 × x/2

=3x/8

No of deer DRINKING water = 9

According to Question -

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

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

(4x+3x-8x)/8. =. -9

(7X - 8x)/8. = -9

-x/8 = -9 ( SUBTRACTION signs will be REMOVED

from both sides as per rule)

x = 9×8

x = 72
