Answer:
There are 66 number of dogs in Miss Mulero's backyard.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up equation for the given information.
Let there are 'd' number of dogs
and 'c' number of cats.
So, we can set up equation as
d+c=124
d=c+8
Let's solve the system of equations for 'd' and 'c'.
Substitute d as c+8 into the first equation then solve for 'c'
c+8+c=124
Combine like terms
2 c+8=124
Subtract both sides 8
2 c = 116
Divide both sides by 2.
c= 58
Plug in c as 58 into d=c+8
d=58+8
d=66
So, there are 66 number of dogs in Miss Mulero's backyard.
