Question

A man counted his animals, 80 heads and 260 legs (ducks and goats). how many goats are there?

Answer 1

ducks =2
goats=4
or duck : goat = 2 : 2+2
2×80=160
260-160=100
2=100
or 1=50
goats ia 50 nd ducks are 30 hope this is the answer...

Answer 2

Answer:

30 ducks & 50 goats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = no. of ducks

y = no. of goats

Solve simultaneous equations:

x+y=80

2x+4y=260

2x+2y=160

2x+4y=260

=> 2y=100

y=50

Solve for x;

x+50=80

x=30
