Answer:

We assume that each chicken and each pig has 1 head. And, each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4 legs. The problem gives the total number of legs (874) and asks for the number of chickens.

The number of chicken legs + the number of pig legs = 874

And for heads number of chickens + number of pigs = 295

Solution:

2C +4P = 874

C + P = 295

2C + 4P = 874

2C + 2P = 590

0 + 2P = 284

P = 142

C + 162 = 295

C = 153

Checking:

2(153) + 4(142) = 874

306 + 568 = 874

Answer: There were 153 chickens on the farm
