There are a number of chickens and rabbits in a cage, counting from top to bottom, with 35 heads; It's 94 feet from the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there in each cage?

Solution: suppose there are x rabbits, then there are 35-x chickens.

4x+2(35-x)=94

4x+70-2x=94

2x=24

x= 12

A: Rabbits 12, 23 chickens.
