To determine the number of chikens and cows, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information.

Let x be the number of chikens and y be the number of cows.

We know that the total number of animals is 30. This information can be translated into the equation: x + y = 30

We also know that each chicken has 2 legs and each cow has 4 legs. Thus, the equation representing the total legs can be written as: 2x + 4y = 88, then

1. Solve the first equation for y: y = 30 - x

2. Substitute y into the second equation: 2x + 4 (30 - x) = 8...
