Number of heads = number of animals
A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of chicken be x
The number of cows will be 9 - x
There is a total of 24 legs:
2x + 4(9-x) =24
2x + 36 - 4x = 24
2x = 12
x = 6
Find the number of animals:
chickens = x = 6
cows = 9 - x = 9 - 6 = 3
Answer: There are 6 chickens and 3 cows
