Question

142 legs, 40 heads How many goats and chickens

Answer 1

answer :- 31 goat and 9 chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

first think of a number which is closet to 40 which when multiplied by 4 gives an answer less than 142 and also left out number(142-no you took and multiplied by 4) when multiplied by 2 and when we add both it gives 142 as answer

like I took 31

31*4 =124

142-124 =18

and when we multiple 9*2 it's 18 so these will be your answer

you didn't gave much explanation so I just did it on my own imagination
