Well if you mean how many functioning legs are there… and each of the 8 men has two legs then….we have 8-6 men or 4 legs + 1 functioning leg on the couch and 3 broken legs 8 legs in total, 5 of which are capable of providing their normal function.
Pretend that the men resemble a variable x, and legs resemble a variable y. Assume that each man has 2 legs. That would be 8x-6x-3y=y. that would equal 2x- nvm im a shit squad
