On a farm there are chickens and three-legged-cows. There are total of 49 heads and 130 legs. How many chickens are on the farm?
85 chickens
Suppose there are x chickens and y cows Then heads => x + y = 64 And Legs => 2x + 3y = 147 2*Heads: 2x +2y = 128 Subtract from Legs: 19 = y Substitute in Heads: x = 45 Answer: 45 chickens.
