Answer:

There are 25 chickens and 20 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of chickens

y ----> the number of rabbits

Remember that

1 chicken has two legs

1 rabbit has four legs

so

2x+4y=130 -------> equation A

x=y+5 -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(y+5)+4y=130

2y+10+4y=130

6y=120

y=20 rabbits

Find the value of x

x=y+5

x=20+5=25 chickens
