"You Lazy (Intellectual) African Scum!" A Compelling Read -
From "Mind of Malaka". A bracing must read for everyone who cares about Africa: “ That’s what we call your country. You guys are as stagnant as the water in the lake. We come in with our large boats and fish your minerals and your wildlife and leave morsels—crumbs. That’s your staple food, crumbs. That corn-meal you eat, that’s crumbs, the small Tilapia fish you call Kapenta is crumbs. We the Bwanas (whites) take the cat fish. I am the Bwana and you are the Muntu. I get what I want and you get what you deserve, crumbs. That’s what lazy people get—Zambians, Africans, the entire Third World.”
4(a) + 2(b) = 74
ReplyDeletea+b=30
4(30-b)+2(b)=74
120-4b+2b=74
120-74=4b-2b
2b=46
b=23 (Chickens)
Solve for a
4(a)+2(30-a)=74
4a+60-2a=74
4a-2a=74-60
2a=14
a=7 (cows)
