Answer:

The number of ducks are 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are x ducks in a pond.

The number of swans in the pond is equal to the square root of the number of ducks.

Means swans = \sqrt{x}

If the total number of swans and ducks in the pond is 12.

x+ \sqrt{x} =12

=> \sqrt{x} =12-x

Squaring both sides, we get

x=x^{2} +144-24x

=> Taking everything on one side and equating to 0

x^{2} -x-24x+144=0

=> x^{2}-25x+144=0

=> Solving this we get, x = 9 and x = -16

So, we have number of ducks as 9.

And number of swans = \sqrt{9} =3

[i.dk how this can help but if you got a 7 or 11 rolling on the first round you would probably win]
