Answer:
4 goats
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent
Number of quails = x
Number of goats = y
Quails have 2 legs
Goats have 4 legs
Hence:
There are 6 animals in the pen some are quails and some are goats
x + y = 6...... Equation 1
x = 6 - y
if there are 20 legs in all how many quails
2x + 4y = 20..... Equation 2
We substitute 6 - y for x in Equation 2
2(6 - y) + 4y = 20
12 - 2y + 4y = 20
Collect like terms
- 2y + 4y = 20 - 12
2y = 8
y = 8/2
y = 4 goats
The number of goats there are 4 goats
