✔ 最佳答案

ans:

1)
let x be the number of pigs
y be the number of ducks

then we have
x+y=24 ..........(1)
4x+2y=64 .......(2)

solving the simultaneous equations
4 times (1) minus (2)... 2y=32 , so y=16 ....(3)
subsitute (3) into (1)... x+16=24, so x=8

so answer is, 8 pigs and 16 ducks.

2)
we have,
5x+y=40 ........(1)
x+y=12 ..........(2)

solving the simultaneous equations,
(1) minus (2) ... 4x=28, so x=7 ........(3)
subsitute (3) into (2) ... 7+y=12, so y=5

so answer is, 7 $5 coins and 5 $1 coins
