Final answer:
To find the number of pigs in the corral when given the total number of animals and legs, set up a system of equations to solve for the unknowns.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations. Let's use 'x' to represent the number of pigs and 'y' for the number of turkeys. We have the following:
- x + y = 20 (total number of animals)
- 4x + 2y = 66 (total number of legs)
From the first equation, we can derive that y = 20 - x. Substituting into the second equation gives us 4x + 2(20 - x) = 66. Solving this, we find x = 14. Therefore, there are 14 pigs in the corral.
