There are 35 chickens and 94 legs in the same cage. How many chickens and rabbits are there
There were x chickens and 35-x rabbits
2X+4(35-X)=94
2X+140-4X=94
2X=46
X=23
There were 23 chickens and 12 rabbits
There are 35 heads and 94 legs in chicken and rabbit. The equation with X should be set
There were x rabbits and 35-x chickens
4X+2×(35-X)=94
4X-2X+70=94
2X=24
X=12
Chicken: 35-x = 35-12 = 23
