Answer:

The total count of the camels is
36

Explanation:

Let

x------> the total count of the camels

we know that


x=(x)/(4)+2√(x)+15

using a graphing tool solve the equation

The solution is
x=36

see the attached figure

Verify

Substitute the value of x in the expression


36=(36)/(4)+2√(36)+15


36=9+12+15


36=36 -----> is true
