G+C=31, where G=goats and C=chickens. This is the count equation.
\n" ); document.write( "4G+2C=86; this is the feet equation.
\n" ); document.write( "-2G-2C=-62
\n" ); document.write( "2G=24
\n" ); document.write( "G=12---48 feet
\n" ); document.write( "C=10--38 feet
\n" ); document.write( "They add to 86 feet
\n" ); document.write( "(8x+4=52)
\n" ); document.write( "x=6
\n" ); document.write( "
