There are 8 animals in the barn. some are ducks and some are buffalo. there are 24 legs in all. how many of each animal are there? show your work, .

4 buffalos and 20 chickens (i think)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4y= 8

Ducks have 2 legs and buffalos have 4.

x= ducks y=buffalos

2(24-y)+4y=24

48-2y+4y=40

2y=8

y=4

4 buffalos

x+y=24

x=24-y

x=24-4

x=20

20 ducks
