Answer:

g=goats

c=cows

a=cars

g + c = 36

10 + g = a

Explanation:

the number of cows and goats together are equal to 36, so for the first equation you can write g + c = 36.

For the second equation, the number of cars he has is equal to the number of goats he has plus 10, so you can express that as 10 + g = a. (I used a since I already used c for the cows)

I think this is what you need if you need 2 equations to represent how many cars he has.

I'm not entirely sure what its asking you can comment if you need more or something else.
