Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

chickens + goats = 13

so...

c + g = 13, so...

g = (13 - c)

2 legs times the number of chickens (2c) + 4 legs times the number of goats (4g) = 48 total legs. So...

2c + 4(13-c) = 48, so

2c + 52 - 4c = 48, so

-2c = -4, so

2c = 4, so

c = 2.

There are 2 chickens, and therefore 11 goats.
