Answer:

2 cows and 5 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.

Let x = cows and y = chickens

1. form two equations

4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)

x + y = 7 .... (2)

2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation

x + y = 7

y = 7 - x ... (3)

3. Substitute (3) into (1)

4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18

4. solve for x

4x + 14 - 2x = 18

2x = 4

x = 2

5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)

x + y = 7

2 + y = 7

y = 5

∴ cows (x) = 2

chickens (y) = 5

Since we are talking about real quantities (hours), x should be positive. Also, you need to take into account that Wendy needs to play in order to win game levels.
Therefore the domain will be: x > 0
