Use a ratio. Let R be the number of rabbits and F be the number of fox.
\n" ); document.write( "You are told $\"F+=+R+-+35\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F9+=+F%2FR\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F9+=+%28R-35%29%2FR\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2AR+=+9%28R-35%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2R+=+9R+-+315+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"315+=+7R\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"45+=+R\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"F+=+R-35\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer, does 2/9 = 10/45?
