x + y = 28 ---> eqn 1
Next, we know that the total number of legs are 74. Since each cow has 4 legs and each chicken has 2 legs, the second independent equation we could formulate is:
4x + 2y = 74 ---> eqn 2
Now, we have a system of linear equations. There are two unknowns and two independent equations. Thus, the system is solvable. Let's use the method of substituting to solve this. Rearrange eqn 1 such that x is a function of y. Let's denote this as eqn 1'.
x = 28 - y ---> eqn 1'
Substitute eqn 1' to eqn 2:
4(28 - y) + 2y = 74
112 - 4y + 2y = 74
-2y = 74 - 112
-2y = -38
y = -38/-2
y = 19
Therefore, there are 19 chickens. Now, we use y=19 to substitute to eqn 1:
x + 19 = 28
x = 28 - 19
x = 9
Therefore, there are 9 cows.
