Answer:

4h + 2c = 186 legs

Step-by-step explanation:

h is the number horses and c is the number of chickens.

We know that 1 horse = 4 legs.

And 1 chicjen = 2 legs

We can write these as:

1H = 4 legs

1C = 2 legs

We are told that a farmer counts 186 legs.  That must be represented by the equations:

4h + 2c = 186 legs
