Question

In a stable there are men and horses in all there are 22heads and 72 feets how many men and how many horses are in the stable? solve this problem

Answer 1

14 horses and 8 men.<br>14x4 plus (8x2) = 72 feet

If, A -=> men and B => horses

So, A + B = 22 and 2A + 4B = 72

2 (22 - B) + 4 B = 72 

44 - 2 B + 4 B = 72 

44 + 2 B = 72 

2 B = 72 - 44 = 28 

B = 14 (horses) 

So, there are in the stable 8 men and 14 horses.
