In cage, there are pigeons and rabbits. They have 20 heads and 48 feet, How rabbits are there?

Answer: 4 Rabbits
Explanation

Let the total number of rabbits = x

Let the total number of pigeons = y

total number of head = 20 

                x + y = 20        eq (1)

total number of feet = 48 

             4x  +2y  = 48

              2x + y   = 24    eq (2)

Subtracting equation (2) from eq (1)

   2x + y -x - y = 24 -20

        x = 4
