Question

While walking in the country, you count 39 heads and 110 feet in a field of horses and chickens. How many of each animal are there?

Answer 1

Answer: 23 chickens and 16 horses

Step-by-step explanation: h+c=39

4h+2c=110

2h+c=55

Subtract the original equation from that to get h=16

c+16=39

c=23
