Suppose there are x chickens, then there are (20-x) rabbits
2X+4(20-X)=54,X=13,
20-13 = 7, that is, 13 chickens and 7 rabbits
There are several ways to do it

Chicken and rabbit in the same cage, a total of 100 heads, 272 legs?


X+Y=100
2X+4Y=272
X=64
Y=36



Chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, with 40 heads on the top and 100 feet on the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there?


Suppose it's all rabbits, chicken: (4 × 40-100) / (4-2) = 60 / 2 = 30; rabbit: 40-30 = 10; answer: there are 30 chickens and 10 rabbits
