[texhax] Simultaneous Equations?

Hi,

I'm having a big problem trying to display simultaneous equations.

I want something like:

\[
  \left\{
    \begin{array}{rclr}
      foo&=&bar\\
      bar&=&foo
    \end{array}
  \right.
\]

but with both equations numbered.

Using:

\[
  \left\{
    \begin{array}{rclr}
        foo&=&bar&\addtocounter{equation}{1}(\theequation)\\
        bar&=&foo&\addtocounter{equation}{1}(\theequation)
    \end{array}
  \right.
\]

doesn't display the equation number in line with equation numbers
from {align} or {eqnarray}'s etc, and so looks messy.

I just want two numbered equations, with one { to the left of them.

I'm using LaTeX.

Any help would be great

Thanks,
Gavin Baker
