I’m going with 22 because 10x2 is 20 then 10x4 is 40 then 40+20 is 60 so the answer would be 22 because I would also have to add the other 2 to the problem. I’m so so so sorry if I did this wrong

Number of Chickens & Number of Goats = 11 & 9 respectively. Check the calculations below

Find the number of Chickens & Goats

Total Legs = Number of chickens (Legs per chicken) + Number of goats (Legs per goat)

What information do we have

Total Legs = 58, Total animals = 20

So, assuming

Let the number of chickens = x

Then, total number of goats = Total - number of chickens

= 20 - x

Putting the values in formula,

2x + 4 (20 - x) = 58

2x + 80 - 4x = 58

80 - 2x = 58

80 - 58 = 2x

22 = 2x

x = 22 / 2

x = 11 (Chickens)

20 - x = 20 - 11 = 9 (Goats)

Hence, number of Chickens & Goats = 11 & 9 respectively
