Answer: Pigs = 21
Chicken = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pigs be represented by p
Let the chicken be represented by c.
From the question,
p + c = 66
4p + 2c = 174
4 × ( p + c = 66)
1 × (4p + 2c = 174)
4p + 4c = 264
- 4p + 2c = 174
2c = 90
c = 90/2 = 45
There are 45 chickens
Simce the farmer has a total of 66 animals, the number of pigs will be:
= 66 - 45
= 21 pigs
