Stuck or Confused about this problem
Question: A wildlife sanctuary contains wombats and emus. There is a total of 28 heads and 88 legs. How many wombats and emus are present?
I have no idea how to make a rule or formula out of this. I checked out BoB and it came out to be 12 emus and 16 wombats. Please help me out.
EDIT: Oops my bad.

I need help with H/W. What so wrong about that?
You want the basil community to do your homework? Geez.
x + y = 28 , for heads
4x + 2y = 88 for the legs
x as wombats, y as bats?
My bad. I didn't reread it. Do you know how to solve it?
88 tails, is that possible?
