X = the number of humans and y = the number of horses.

x+y=74
2x+4y=196

Because the number of humans and horses together is 74, and the total number of legs (2 per every human, x, and 4 per every horse, y) is 196.  Then, just use elimination to solve.

-2(x+y=74)\\2x+4y=196\\\\-2x-2y=-148\\2x+4y=196\\\\2y=48\\y=24

So, now that you have y, you can plug it into the first equation to find x:

x+y=74\\x+24=74\\x=50

So, x = 50 and y = 24, so there are 50 humans and 24 horses.
The correct answer is B.
