The McDonald family has agreed to let their children get some animals. The kids said they want chickens and goats, so the parents told them the number of chickens could be four times that of the number of goats. They are allowed to have no more than 20 total animals.

Respuesta :

The number of goats the children can have is 5.

The number of chickens the children can have is 20.

What is the system of equation that can be used to represent this question?

c + g = 20 equation 1

c = 4g  equation 2

Where:

c = number of chickens

g = number of goats

What is the number of goats the children can have?

In order to determine the required value, substitute for c in  equation 1

4g + g = 20

Add similar terms

5g = 20

Divide both sides by 5

g = 5

What is the number of chickens the children can have?

Substitute for g in equation 2

c = 4 x 5

c = 20
