A farmer has chickens and rabbits on his farm - There are 22 heads and 72 feet - how many chickens and how many rabbits are there
\n" ); document.write( "Rabbits = X Chickens = Y
\n" ); document.write( "Feet EQUATIOn: 4 X + 2Y = 72
\n" ); document.write( "Head EQUATIOn: x + y = 22
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru Head equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "-2 (x) + -2 (Y) = -44
\n" ); document.write( "Add to Feet equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 28
\n" ); document.write( "x = 14 (# of rabbits)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 8 (# of chickens)
\n" ); document.write( "===========
