Question 1081991: In Aunt Peggy’s attics there are spiders and ants, the total of 160 legs. And, there is one more ant than spider! How many spiders and how many ants? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x spiders so 8x legs
x+1 ants, so 6(x+1) legs
8x+6x+6 legs=160
14x=154
x=11 spiders, 88 legs
12 ants, 72 legs
160 legs total
