Answer:

  • 101 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Chickens = x, Cows = y

Sum of animals:

  • x + y = 132

Sum of legs:

  • 2x + 4y = 326

Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 4 and subtract the second equation:

  • 4x + 4y - 2x - 4y = 4*132 - 326
  • 2x = 528 - 326
  • 2x = 202
  • x = 101
