Answer:

  • 10 elves and 5 reindeer

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the number of elves be x and reindeer be y, then we have equations:</u>

  • x + y = 15
  • 2x + 4y = 40

<u>Simplify the second equation and subtract the first one: </u>

  • x + 2y = 20
  • (x + 2y) - (x + y) = 20 - 15
  • y = 5

<u>Then find x:</u>

  • x = 15 - 5 = 10
