Number of 3-legged tables: &lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt;


Number of 4-legged tables: &lt;i&gt;y&lt;/i&gt;


Number of tables:  &lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt; + &lt;i&gt;y&lt;/i&gt; = 36 &amp;#8594; &lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt;  = 36 - &lt;i&gt;y&lt;/i&gt;


Number of legs:  3&lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt; + 4&lt;i&gt;y&lt;/i&gt; = 124


Substitute:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  3(36 - y) + 4y = 124]


Solve for &lt;i&gt;y&lt;/i&gt; to get the number of 4-legged tables.
