Suppose there are x rabbits, then there are (18-x) chickens
2(18-x)+4x=56
36-2x+4x=56
-2x+4x=56-36
2x=20
x=10
Chicken 18-10 = 8
A: there are 10 rabbits and 8 chickens



Chickens and rabbits in the same cage, 10 chickens less than rabbits, a total of 260 feet


There are x chickens and X - 10 rabbits
2X + 4×(X - 10)= 260
6X - 40 = 260
6X = 300
X = 50
X - 10 = 50 - 10 = 40
A: there are 50 chickens and 40 rabbits



There are 8 chickens and 28 rabbits in the same cage. How many chickens and rabbits are there?


X + y = 8 2x + 4Y = 28: x = 2, y = 6, 2 chickens and 6 rabbits
