1. **State the problem:** We have chickens and cows on a farm. Chickens have 2 legs each, cows have 4 legs each, and the total number of legs is 82.
2. **Define variables:** Let $x$ be the number of chickens and $y$ be the number of cows.
3. **Write the equation:** Since chickens have 2 legs and cows have 4 legs, the total legs equation is:
$$2x + 4y = 82$$
4. **Simplify the equation:** Divide both sides by 2:
$$\cancel{2}x + \cancel{4}y = \cancel{82}$$
$$x + 2y = 41$$
5. **Use the equation to find missing values in the table:**
- For $x=35$, find $y$:
$$35 + 2y = 41 \Rightarrow 2y = 41 - 35 = 6 \Rightarrow y = 3$$
- For $y=7$, find $x$:
$$x + 2(7) = 41 \Rightarrow x + 14 = 41 \Rightarrow x = 27$$
- For $y=10$, find $x$:
$$x + 2(10) = 41 \Rightarrow x + 20 = 41 \Rightarrow x = 21$$
- For $x=19$, find $y$:
$$19 + 2y = 41 \Rightarrow 2y = 22 \Rightarrow y = 11$$
- For $y=5$, find $x$:
$$x + 2(5) = 41 \Rightarrow x + 10 = 41 \Rightarrow x = 31$$
6. **Complete the table:**
| number of chickens (x) | number of cows (y) |
|-----------------------|--------------------|
| 35 | 3 |
| 27 | 7 |
| 21 | 10 |
| 19 | 11 |
| 31 | 5 |
**Final answer:** The missing values are $y=3$ for $x=35$, $x=27$ for $y=7$, $x=21$ for $y=10$, $y=11$ for $x=19$, and $x=31$ for $y=5$.
