Answer:
chickens = 11
pigs = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
this would be solved using simultaneous equation
let c = chicken .
p = pigs
A normal pig and chicken both have 1 head. thus :
c + p = 18 equation 1
A normal pig has 4 legs and a normal chicken has 2 legs. Thus
2c + 4p = 50 equation 2
multiply equation 1 by 2
2c + 2p = 36 equation 3
subtract equation 3 from 2
2p = 14
p = 7
substitute for p in equation 1
c + 7 = 18
c = 11
