    Penguins (P) : 1 H + 2 Ft

    Bears (B) : 1 H + 4Ft

    Heads Equation: 1P + 1B = 14 → - 2 (1P + 1B = 14) → - 2P - 2B = - 28

    Feet Equation: 2P + 4B = 30 → 1 (2P + 4B = 30) → 2P + 4B = 30

    2B = 2

    B = 1

    Heads Equation: 1P + 1B = 14 → 1P + 1 (1) = 14 → P = 13

    Answer: 13 Penguins and 1 Bear
