\n" ); document.write( "simon saw antelopes and crows in the meadow at the zoo. He counted 26 heads and 66 legs. How many antelopes did he see?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let number of antelopes and crows be A, and C, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Then we get: A + C = 26 ------- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "Also, 4A + 2C = 66______2(2A + C) = 2(33)______2A + C = 33 ------ eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "Subtracting eq (i) from eq (ii), we get: A, or number of antelopes =  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
