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!
