    I believe the answer is 10,6 heres the reason: The question shows x, y and y is 4 less than x your answers are: 4,2 6,10 8,8 and 10,6 the x would come first so 10,6 has x before y : D

    We know that there is 16 animals total.

    There is 4 less chickens than there is sheep.

    16 - 4 = 12 sheep

    sheep = x (12)

    chickens - y (4)

    (x, y)

    (12, 4)
