What is the answer to this problem a farmer owns some goats and chickens he counts 144 legs on his farm the number of chickens is4 times the number of goats how many chickens are on the farm?

Let x = the number of goats (4 legs) 4x = the number of chickens (2 legs) So we have 4*x + 2*4x = 144 4x + 8x = 144 12x = 144 x = 144/12 = 12 (goats and 48 chickens) or Let's suppose that each of them have 6 legs, so there would be 24 chickens and goats (144/6), and we can say there are 12 chickens and 12 goats. But the number of chickens is 4 times the number of goats, so there are 48 chickens (4*12) and 12 goats.
