6 cats/kittens were adopted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cats/kittens at the event = 44

Number of cats/kittens adopted = x

Number of cats/kittens returned = Twice returned as adopted = 2x

New total = 50

We will subtract the adopted and add the returned cats/kittens.

Total cats/kittens at event - adopted + returned = New total

$44-x+2x=50\\44+x=50\\x=50-44\\x=6$

6 cats/kittens were adopted.
