If there are x ducks and y pigs, then we know that

x + y = 17

2x + 4y = 50

Solving these simultaneous equations gives9 ducks and 8 pigs.

A group of goats and ducks have a total of 99 heads legs among them there are twice as many ducks as there are goat show many are there of each?

Let G be the number of goats and D be the number of ducks. We can set up a system of equations based on the number of heads and legs: G + D = 99 (from heads) and 4G + 2D = 296 (from legs). Solving this system of equations, we find that there are 33 goats and 66 ducks.

In a yard there are ducks and cows If there are 35 heads and 110 legs. How many ducks are there?

Well, well, well, looks like we've got a little math puzzle on our hands. If we let D be the number of ducks and C be the number of cows, we have the lovely equations D + C = 35 and 2D + 4C = 110. Solving this system of equations, we find that there are 15 ducks waddling around causing a ruckus in the yard.

What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 3 times?

Your question is slightly vague, so I will pose a more defined question: What is the probability of 3 coin tosses resulting in heads exactly twice? This is a pretty easy question to answer. The three possible (winning) outcomes are: 1. Heads, Heads, Tails. 2. Heads, Tails, Heads. 3. Tails, Heads, Heads. If we look at the possible combination of other (losing) outcomes, we can easily determine the probability: 4. Heads, Heads, Heads. 5. Tails, Tails, Heads. 6. Tails, Heads, Tails. 7. Heads, Tails, Tails. 8. Tails, Tails, Tails. This means that to throw heads twice in 3 flips, we have a 3 in 8 chance. This is because there are 3 winning possibilities out of a total of 8 winning and losing possibilities.
