You have two unknowns - the number of people (P) and the number of horses (H). You can set up two equations to solve for these two unknowns. Every person and every horse has 1 head, so:

P+H=74

Also, every person has 2 legs but every horse has 4 legs, so:

2P+4H=196

We can now solve by rearranging the first equation (H = 74 - P), and subbing that value into the second equation:

The difference of two numbers.(a,b) is 21. The difference of 5 times a and 2 times b is 18. What are the values of a,b?
ziro4ka [17]
The equation is b-a= 21;
2b-5a = 18
a=8 and b= 29
therefore 29-8= 21
2 (29) -5 (8) = 18
58-40=18
