There are people walking their dogs at a park. there are 19 heads and 60 feet at the park.
\n" ); document.write( "a. write out the equation for this problem use P to stand for people and d to stand for dogs.
\n" ); document.write( "Heads equation: p + d = 19
\n" ); document.write( "feet equation: 2p +4d = 60
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination:
\n" ); document.write( "p + d = 19
\n" ); document.write( "p +2d = 30
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"d\":
\n" ); document.write( "d = 11 (# of dogs)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "solve for \"p\":
\n" ); document.write( "p + d = 19
\n" ); document.write( "p + 11 = 19
\n" ); document.write( "p = 8 (# of people)
\n" ); document.write( "=========================
\n" ); document.write( "b. how many people are there at the park? 8
\n" ); document.write( " how many dogs are there? 11
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
