p + c = 37
4p + 2c = 124

Answer 2

ok he has

Answer 3

an also be answered by setting up a system of equations instead of guessing.
P + C = 37 (P pigs + C chickens = 37 animals)
4P + 2C = 124 (4P pig legs + 2C chicken legs = 124 legs)
Multiply the first equation by -4 and add to the second equation and solve for P.

Answer 20

ok?

Answer 21

Multiply the first equation by 4, you get:

4p + 4c = 148
4p + 2c = 124

Subtract the 2nd from the 1st to get:
2c = 24
c = 24/2
c = 12

Answer 22

c = number of chickens btw
