3x + y = 25 There. You jsut put the same variables when you should'nt have. Cats =/= Canaries.

ICantKs said: " But a cat's head does not equal a canaries head." The question only said 25 heads. So 25 animals in total. xD

so let's break this down(oh boy math HERE WE GO!) x = cat y = canary x + y = 25 because they both gotta add up to 25 y = 3x SOLVE!

how can you focus on math when you can't pass grammer?
