How many stools and chairs can you make using 98 legs if each stool has 3 legs and each chair has 4 legs?

Let the number of stools be ( x ) and the number of chairs be ( y ). The equation representing the total number of legs is ( 3x + 4y = 98 ). To find the maximum combination of stools and chairs, you can solve this equation for different values of ( x ) and ( y ). For example, if you have 24 stools (72 legs), you can make 6 chairs (24 legs), giving a total of 24 stools and 6 chairs.
