Answer:

25 goat and 15 chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the number of goats is G, then the number of chickens is 40 - G as there are 40 heads and each chicken and each goat has one head.

The number of feet is 130

So 2(40 - G) + 4G = 130

So 80 - 2G + 4G = 130

2G = 50

G = 25

25 goats and 15 chickens
