Question

One day, a person went to horse racing area, Instead of counting the number of human and horses, he instead counted 74 heads and 196 legs. Yet he knew the number of humans and horses there. How did he do it, and how many humans and horses are there?

Answer 1

hard for me

Answer 2

Let number of humans be x and horses be y
X + y = 74
2x + 4y =196
so 2x + 2 y = 148
so 2y = 48 and so y = 24
X=,74-24=50
and : 50 humans and 24 horses

Answer 3

wow great

Answer 4

wow ur right, good job

Answer 5

HM = Human
HR = Horse


HM + HR = 74
2HM + 4HR = 196
(2HM + 4HR) - (2 HM + 2HR) = 196 - 148
2HR = 48
HR = 24
HM + (24) = 74
HM = 74 - 24
HM = 50
