Answer: Mike started with 75 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The number of cards mike started with (x) plus the new cards added (7) must be divided by 2 (since his dog ate half of his collection).

That expression must be equal to the number of cards left (41)

Mathematically speaking:

(x + 7) /2 = 41

Solving for x:

x+7 = 41x2

x+7 = 82

x = 82-7

x = 75 cards

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
