If there is 80 cows and hens and the legs are 208 how many cows and hens
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "animals:: c + h = 80
\n" ); document.write( "legs::: 4c + 2h = 208
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "c + h = 80
\n" ); document.write( "2c+ h = 104
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"c\"::
\n" ); document.write( "c = 24 (# of cows)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"h\"::
\n" ); document.write( "h = 80-c = 80-24 = 56 (# of hens)
\n" ); document.write( "------------
