Question 2 Suppose I discovered that my cat had a taste for the adorable little geckoes that live in the bushes and vines in my yard, back when I lived in Arizona. In one month, suppose he deposited the following on my carpet: six grey geckoes, twelve geckoes that had dropped their tails in an effort to escape capture, and fifteen geckoes that he'd chewed on a little. Only one of the geckoes was grey, chewed on, and tailless; two were grey and tailless but not chewed on; two were grey and chewed on but not tailless. If there were a total of 24 geckoes left on my carpet that month, and all of the geckoes were at least one of "grey", "tailless", and "chewed on", how many were tailless and chewed on but not grey?
there were a total of 24 geckoes … Grey Tailless Chewed on 24
Only one of the geckoes was grey, chewed on, and tailless Grey Tailless 1 Chewed on 24
two were grey and tailless but not chewed on; Grey Tailless 2 1 Chewed on 24
all of the geckoes were at least one of "grey", "tailless", and "chewed on", Grey Tailless 2 1 2 0 Chewed on 24
six grey geckoes Grey Tailless 1 2 1 2 0 Chewed on 24
twelve geckoes that had dropped their tails: a + b = 9 Grey Tailless 1 2 1 2 0 a b Chewed on 24
fifteen geckoes that he'd chewed: c + b = 12 Grey Tailless 1 2 1 2 0 c a b Chewed on 24
3 unknowns need 3 equations: a + b = 9; c + b = 12; a + b + c = 18 Grey Tailless 1 2 1 2 0 c a b Chewed on 24
tailless and chewed on but not grey = 3 Grey Tailless 1 2 1 2 0 9 6 3 Chewed on 24
