You can put this solution on YOUR website! 60/2=30 animals
c+o=30,
4c+2o=86
c = 13, o = 17
Harry has once again shown himself to be weird. He can remember how many eyes and feet but can't count animals
You can put this solution on YOUR website! c = number of camels
t = number of ostriches
---
2t + 2c = 60
2t + 4c = 86
---
2t + 2c = 60
2t = 60 - 2c
t = 30 - c
---
2t + 4c = 86
2(30 - c) + 4c = 86
60 - 2c + 4c = 86
2c = 26
---
c = 13
t = 17
