    There are cows and chickens in a barn along with a three-legged dog named Tripod. If there are twice as many chickens as cows, how many legs are there in the barn. (Call the number of cows n.)

    Number of cows = n
    Number of cows legs = 4n


    Number of chickens = 2n
    Number of chicken legs = 2*2n = 4n

    Tripod legs = 3

    Total legs = 4n + 4n + 3
    8n + 3
