A farm yard contains some pigs and some chickens. Altogether there are 60 heads and 200 legs. How many pigs are there in the yard?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

p=pigs c=chickens.

4p=pigs have 4 legs.

2c=chickens have 2 legs.

4p+2c=200

p+c=60

Do the elimination method:

4p+2c=200

(-4)p+c=60

4p+2c=200

-4p-4c=-240

-2c=-40

c=20

p+20=60

p=60-20

p=40

Hope this helps!
