Answer:

  • 234 goats
  • 266 geese

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of goats. The 500-x is the number of geese. The total number of legs is ...

  4x +2(500 -x) = 1468

  2x +1000 = 1468 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x = 468 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1000

  x = 234 . . . . . . . . .number of goats

  (500 -x) = 266 . . number of geese
