Step-by-step explanation:

Note: 385 is an incorrect number so replaced with 386 for the sake of getting integer solution

a)

Equations:

  • T + C = 386
  • T = C + 50

b)

Solve by substitution:

  • C + 50 + C = 386
  • 2C + 50 = 386
  • 2C = 336
  • C = 336/2
  • C = 168

Find the number of turkeys:

  • T = 168 + 50 = 218

Answer:

  • 218 turkeys
  • 168 chickens
