A farmer was asked how many rabbits and chicken he had in his yard and he replied between the two there are 60 eyes and 86 few how many chicken and rabbits did he have?

Let the number of rabbits be ( r ) and the number of chickens be ( c ). Since rabbits have 2 eyes and chickens have 2 eyes as well, the equation for eyes is ( 2r + 2c = 60 ), simplifying to ( r + c = 30 ). The second equation for legs is ( 4r + 2c = 86 ). Solving these equations, we find ( r = 16 ) (rabbits) and ( c = 14 ) (chickens).
