Question

Daniel's Exotic Animal Rescue houses snakes, tarantulas and scorpions. When asked how
many animals of each kind he boards, Daniel answered: `We board 49 total animals, and I
am responsible for each of their 272 legs and 28 tails.' How many of each animal does the
Rescue board? (Recall: tarantulas have 8 legs and no tails, scorpions have 8 legs and one
tail, and snakes have no legs and one tail.)
