Let the no. of 2 legged pet in the locality be x , then the no. of 4 legged pets in the locality would be 3x + 2
Total no. of pets = 358
Therefore x + 3x + 2 = 358
x + 3x = 358 - 2
4x = 356
x = 356 ÷ 4
x = 89
no. of 2 legged pet in the locality = 89
no. of 4 legged pets in the locality = 3x + 2
= 3 × 89 + 2
= 267 + 2
= 269
Hope this helps
