Answer 8

anyways it has to be b
there are 74 heads
d would give over 200 legs

Answer 9

i didnt even multiply haha

Answer 10

Both humans and horses have one head, so B and D both total up to 74 heads.
Which is what the person counted. Now, you just have to determine, by knowing that horses have 4 legs and humans have 2 legs and multiply those values until you reach the correct value of 196 legs.
24 horses - 50 humans
x = 4, y = 2
(24)x
(50)y
24(4) = 96.
50(2) = 100.
100+96 = 196.
196 legs.

Answer 11

its B!
