Answer:
50 humans and 24 horses
Step-by-step explanation:
Every man has 1 head and 2 legs
Every horse has 1 head and 4 legs
Lets assume there are m humans and h horses. We have:
m+h=74
2m+4h=196
From the first equation: m=74-h
Considering this In the second one:
2m+4h=196
2(74-h)+4h=196
4h-2h=196-148
2h=48
h=24
m=74-24=50
The answer we got:
50 humans and 24 horses
