Answer:

27 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals

Both animals have a total of 66 legs

Let a represent the number of chicken

Let b represent the number of cows

a + b= 30........equation 1

Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as

2a + 4b= 66........equation 2

From equation 1

a + b= 30

a = 30-b

Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2

2a + 4b= 66

2(30-b) + 4b= 66

60 - 2b + 4b= 66

60 + 2b= 66

2b= 66-60

2b= 6

b= 6/2

b= 3

Substitute 3 for b in equation 1

a + b = 30

a + 3=30

a= 30-3

a= 27

Hence the farmer has 27 chickens
