In a cage, there are chickens and rabbits, counting their feet, a total of 128, counting their heads, a total of 46. How many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage
With X rabbits, there are 46-x chickens
4X+2(46-X)=128
2X=36
X=18
46-18 = 28
There were 18 rabbits and 28 rabbits
In a cage, there are chickens and rabbits, counting their feet, a total of 128; uncle, their heads, a total of 46. How many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage?
Solve by equation
With X rabbits, there are 46-x chickens
4X+2(46-X)=128
2X=36
X=18
46-18 = 28
There were 18 rabbits and 28 rabbits
