If x is Sarahs number then
(x-5)×4+7=35
subtract 7 from both sides
4(x-5)=28
divide by 4 on both sides
x-5=7
add 5 to both sides
x=12

Answer:

Sarah's number is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would take Sarah's solution number, which is 35 , and do the opposite of everything that adds up to it.

i.e 35-7=28

28/4=7

7+5=12

pogonyaev
Okay, so total dogs are 49.
So we know if x=large dogs and y=small dogs, then x+y=49.
Next we are told that there are 36 MORE small dogs than large dogs. We can take that more meaning addition, and x being our value for large dogs. So y=x+36.
After that we now know what value we can plug in for y. So x+x+36=49.
We can then simplify it to 2x+36=49.
Subtracting the 36 from both sides, leaves you with 2x=13.
Followed by dividing both sides by 2, gives you x=6.5. Or 6.5 large dogs.
Now we can plug this into our formula for the small dogs (y=x+36) to give us y=6.5+36, which simplifies to y=42.5. Or 42.5 small dogs. Which is our answer.
We can double check it by adding the small and large dogs together, 6.5+42.5, which gives us 49, our total entries.
