What is an Equation ?

An equation is a mathematical statement which equates two algebraic expression with an equal sign.

Let the total number of goats sold be g

Let the total number of hens sold is h

g + h = 12

The total no. of legs of a goats sold will be 4g

and the total number of legs of a hens sold will be 2h

and it is given that

4g +2h = 32

The system of equation formed is

g + h = 12

4g +2h = 32

Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and then (1) - (2)

-2g = -8

g = 4

Therefore the number of goats sold is 4 and hens sold is 8.
