Answer:
29 rabbits and 29 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there be r rabbits and c chickens.
Then we have the system:
r + c = 58
4r + 2c = 174
Multiplying the first equation by 2:
2r + 2c = 116
Subtracting this equation from the second equation:
2r = 174-116 = 58
r = 29
and c = 58-29 = 29.
Answer:
58 chickens and 116 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
Rabbits have 4 legs. Chickens have 2 legs.
4R+2C=174
R+C=58
R=58-C
4x(58-C) + 2C=174
4x58-4C+2C= 174
4x58-2C=174
232-2C=174
232-174= 2C
58=2C (1 chicken)
174-58=116
58 chickens and 116 rabbits
