Answer:
Let the number of cows be x and their legs be 4x.
Let the number of chicken be y and their legs be 2x.
Total number of legs = 4x + 2y.
Total number of heads = x + y.
The number of legs was 14 more than twice the number of heads.
Therefore, 2 × (x + y) + 14 = 4x + 2y.
or, 2x + 2y + 14 = 4x + 2y.
or, 2x + 14 = 4x [subtracting 2y from both sides].
or, 14 = 4x – 2x [subtracting 2x from both sides].
or, 14 = 2x.
or, x = 7 [dividing by 2 on both sides].
Therefore, the number of cows = 7.
