The number of fowls is 9, and the number of goats is 12 if there were 42 eyes and 66 legs in her backyard.

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let x be the number of fowls and

y be the number of goats

Then total eyes = 2x + 2y

Because both have two eyes

2x + 2y = 42 ..(1)

Total legs = 2x + 4y

fowl has two legs and a goat has 4 legs

2x + 4y = 66 ..(2)

After solving two linear equation:

-2y = -24

y = 12

x = 9

Thus, the number of fowls is 9, and the number of goats is 12 if there were 42 eyes and 66 legs in her backyard.
