3) The Buendorf family has agreed to let their children get some animals. The kids said they want chickens and goats, so the parents told them the number of chickens could be four
times that of the number of goats. They are allowed to have no more than 30 total animals.
What are the possible number of chickens and goats?

The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

chicken=c

Goat=g

the number of chickens could be four times the number of goats

c=4g

Total number of animals=30

c+g=30

Recall, c=4g

So,

c+g=30

4g+g=30

5g=30

Divide both sides by 5

5g/5=30/5

g=6

Recall,

c+g=30

c+6=30

c=30-6

=24

c=24

The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24 making a total of 30 animals

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24
