Question

Help! Extremly hard Question!

Answer 1

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 2

Not Hard...

Answer 3

then why dont you solve it @Hero

Answer 4

It's not that difficult

Answer 5

let horses = x and humans = y.
therefore x + y = 74
horses have 4 legs and humans 2, so 4x + 2y = 196.
Then solve by elimination/substitution

Answer 6

Don't worry. Someone will help.

Answer 7

I want to assume that HM = Human and
HR = Horse
HM + HR = 74
2HM + 4HR = 196
like that right?

Answer 8

Yip, thats correct

Answer 9

then after that, you do (2HM + 4HR) - (2 HM + 2HR) = 196 - 148
2HR = 48
HR = 24
HM + (24) = 74
HM = 74 - 24
HM = 50

correct right?

Answer 10

Yes, thats correct :)

Answer 11

Thank You for your help @lncognlto

Answer 12

You're welcome.

Answer 13

x is nmber of humans and y is number of hourses
than x+y=74 and x+4y=196
according to the condition
now u can solve putting y=74-x in x+4y=196
and get ur answers
