\n" ); document.write( "no. of chickens = x, now of cows = 34-x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "no. of legs = 2*x + 4(34-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "according to questi...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x + 136 - 4x = 110\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=> -2x = -26 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=> x = 13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "no. of chickens = 13, no. of cows = 21 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
