Answer 1

Hey bud!

To answer this question I would require more information... can't solve a 2 variable with just one equation...

Answer 2

9 animals are llamas

Solution:

Given that,

Billy has three times as many llamas as lambs

Therefore, Billy has 4 lots of animals

Milly has twice as many lambs as llamas

Therefore, Milly has 3 lots of animals

They have 17 animals in total

Which means,

Billy must have 4 lots of 2 ( 8 animals )

Milly must have 3 lots of 3 (9 animals )

So, Billy has 6 illamas and Milly has 3 llamas

So, total = 6 + 3 = 9

Thus, 9 animals are llamas
