Let the number of chickens be X, because there are 26 more chickens than rabbits, so the number of rabbits can be expressed as X-26.

If the total number of two animals is 274, there is the following formula: X+(X-26)=274.

Solution: 2X=300

X= 150

Answer: The number of chickens is 150 and the number of rabbits is 124.

If the total number of legs of two animals is 274, there is the following formula: 2X+4(X-26)=274.

Solution: 6X=274+ 104

X=63

A: The number of chickens is 63 and the number of rabbits is 37.
