Answer:
36 goats and 23 pigeons
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of animals = 59
Total number of legs = 190
Each goat has 4 legs and each pigeon has 2 legs
Let the number of goats be 'x'
Since there are 59 animals in total, number of pigeons will be '59-x'
So, number of goats x legs + number of pigeons x legs will give us total number of legs
⇒ (x)(4) + (59 - x)(2) = 190
⇒ 4x + 118 - 2x = 190
⇒ 2x + 118 = 190
⇒ 2x = 190 - 118
⇒ 2x = 72
∴ x = 36
This means that there are 36 goats
So, there are 59 - 36 pigeons ⇒ There are 23 pigeons
Hope this helped!
