Answer:

16 birds

8 mammals if you need to know.

Explanation:

We can set this system of equations up by plugging the 2m from the second equation into where it says r in the first equation. The reason why we do this is because

The 2m is equal to r, so we can replace the r in the first equation with 2m, since they are equal.

Divide both

We can confirm this because

uh

(I like the enter key lol.)

It's the return key on some keyboards in other countries.

Oh yeah.

We can confirm the values.

If there are 16 birds, there is probably going to be a total of 32 legs.

With 8 mammals, it is something like 8 x 4, which is 32

32 + 32 = 64, which is the total.
