4kings:

x/2 + 1 = 100

x= 2(99)

x = 198

Seriously, if its not 198 or 66 (as per syntax) then what is it?

66 birds and the other 1 that greeted them are flying hence; 67 birds are flying

66 birds and the other 1 that greeted them were flying hence; 67 birds were flying

x + x/2 + 1 = 100

2x + x + 2 = 200

3x = 198

x = 66

Bro , 66 cos the bird says we(x) need(+) half of us (x/2) + you (1) to be (=) 100

then 66 + 1 = 67 to get the total number of birds flying

JakeII killed it. 67 is the correct answer.

2 sets of birds, the group of birds flying and the other bird flying also.

Other bird flying =1
Other group of birds flying =x

How many birds were flying = x+1 ........ (a)

But note: x + x/2 + 1=100

Solve for x =66

Substitute in (a) above


66+1=67.
