Answer: 16 chickens, 6 Pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Toal heads=22
Total feet=56
Suppose there are x chickens and y pigs
each animal possess a single head
[tex]\therefore\ x+y=22\quad \ldots(i)[/tex]
Chicken has 2 legs and pig has 4 legs
So, [tex]2x+4y=56\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]
Solving (i) and (ii) we get
x=16 and y=6
So, farmer has 16 chickens and 6 pigs
