C=2S
Now, with C-375-12, then
2(C-375-12)=S
PUt the first equation into the second..
2(C-375-12)=C/2
1.5C=2*(387)
C=4/3*387= 4*129=516 and S=258
Now in the end, number of cows=
516-375-12= 129 and S=258

you start with 2x the sheep and then subtract 369 and get 1/2 of the sheep. Now you try numbers divide them by 4 then subtract them by 369 and see if the numbers match. The answer to that is 492 / 4 = 123 and 492 - 369 = 123 492 is the first one and 123 is the second part for the cows. Now you do 123 x 2 to find the sheep which is 246. cows-123 sheep-246
