    A Farmhouse shelters 10 animals. some are pigs and some are ducks. Altogether there are 36 legs. How many of each animal are there? Answer: 8 pigs and 2 ducks.

    1. (A) p + d = 10

    2. (B) 4p + 2d = 36

    3. Multiply equation (A) with - 2; - 2p minus - 2d = - 20

    4. When subtracted from equation (B), this gives you ... 2p = 16, pigs = 8

    5. Use this 8 to the second equation by substitution ... 2d = 4, ducks = 2
