Question 346825: WE NEED HELP!!
Hello my 10 year old son has a word problem on his math worksheet and I am unable to solve it. Can you please help us??? The problem is as follows:
Miranda visited a petting zoo on Saturday. She counted 95 ducks and goats. She also counted 316 legs between the ducks and goats. How many of each kind of each animal did Miranda see?
We would greatly appreciate your assistance!!!! :)
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d + g = 95 ___ d = 95 - g

2d + 4g = 316

substituting ___ 2(95 - g) + 4g = 316 ___ 190 - 2g + 4g = 316 ___ 2g = 126
