In a stable there are men and horses. In all, there are 22 heads and 72 feet. How many men and how many horses are in the stable
14 horses and 8 men.
If, A --> men and B --> horses
So, A + B = 22 and 2A + 4B = 72
2 (22 - B) + 4 B = 72
44 - 2 B + 4 B = 72
44 + 2 B = 72
2 B = 72 - 44 = 28
B = 14 (horses)
So, there are in the stable 8 men and 14 horses.
