There is an unknown number of men and horses. After some time half of the men left. The total number of remaining legs of the men and horses equals 70. Can you find the number of horses?
There are 7 horses and 21 people. 7 horses would equal 28 legs and 21 people would equal 42 legs which all together would equal 70 legs. By the same token, there could also be 17 horses and 1 man, 16 horses and 3 men, etc. For a brain teaser if you want a definitive answer you must have left out a piece of information like maybe the ratio of men to horses. If there was originally one man for each horse and then half of the men left, you can solve it with the following formula: There were originally x number of men and x number of horses. Now there are 1/2 x number of men. So, there are 2(1/2 x) men's legs and 4 x horses' legs. 2 (1/2 x) + 4x = 70 x + 4x = 70 5x = 70 x = 14 There are now 14 horses (56 legs) and 7 men (14 legs).

110 heads and 256 legs horses and chickens how many chickens?
If they were all horses you'd have 440 legs, so you're 184 legs "short", so you have half that number of chickens ie 92, leaving 18 horses. That's 92 x 2 and 18 x 4 legs, 184 + 72 = 256

On a farm there are horses and chickens there are total of 45 heads and 156 legs how many horses are on the farm?
Answer : 33 horses. Number of Horses (H) + Number of Chickens (C) = 45 therefore C = 45 - H There are 4H horse legs and 2C chicken legs so, 4H + 2C = 156 substituting for C gives :- 4H + 2(45 - H) = 156 4H + 90 - 2H = 156 2H = 156 - 90 = 66 H = 33 There are 33 horses (and 45 - 33 = 12 chickens)

You are supposed to: 1) Write two equations, one for the number of heads (express it in terms of the number of cows and horses, which of course are expressed as variables), and one for the number of legs (also expressed as an equation in terms of the number of cows and horses. 2) Solve the two equations simultaneously.
