Answer 1

Answer:

The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

chicken=c

Goat=g

the number of chickens could be four times the number of goats

c=4g

Total number of animals=30

c+g=30

Recall, c=4g

So,

c+g=30

4g+g=30

5g=30

Divide both sides by 5

5g/5=30/5

g=6

Recall,

c+g=30

c+6=30

c=30-6

=24

c=24

The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24 making a total of 30 animals
