Question

In a yard there were chicken and rabbit together they had 14 heads and 44 legs. How many chicken and how many rabbit was in the yard.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. Of chickens be x and no. of rabbits be y

Then no. of heads = X+y=14

no. of total legs = 2x+4y = 44

(As chicken have 2 and rabbit have 4 legs)

Taking 2 common

X+ 2y =22

Subtracting eq1 from eq2

X+2y -x-y =22-14

Y = 8

So there are 8 rabbits and 6 chickens

Answer 2

a+b = 14

2*a+4*b=44

a+b = 14

2a+4b = 44

a = 6

b = 8
