Pigs and Chickens Problem Farmer Joe has 25 animals in his barn. Some of the animals are pigs and some of the animals are chickens. There are a total of 84 legs in the barn.

Using any method (algebraic, creating a picture, guess and check, or anything else you can think of), determine the number of pigs and chickens in the barn. Be sure to show your thinking completely and provide your final answer (if you are able to reach one). Once you arrive at an answer, explain how you know your solution is accurate.

To share your thinking, draw/write out your work on paper and upload a picture.

Lastly, if you were asked to repeat answer a problem like this with 1000 animals and 2748 legs, would you use the same method? Why or why not?
