Answer 12

I multiplied 24 * 4 which equals 96. Then, I multiplied 50 * 2 which equals 100. Add 100 and 96 which equals 196. Boom.

Answer 13

Wait hold on xD

Answer 14

wrong

Answer 15

Hold on xD

Answer 16

Val, yes, that's a way you can solve it by plugging in numbers. But you're plugging in numbers based on the equations

The two equations are
human + horses = 74
2*human + 4*horse = 196

Because humans have 2 feet, and horses have 4 feet.

And if you solve the system of equations
x + y = 74
2x + 4y = 196

You will get your solution.
