Question

I like dogs but this question is a hard one.

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5 Large Dogs

42.5 Small Dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

You simply do not have enough love for dogs to solve the question.

Luckily I have an extremely high affection for dogs so I can help.

S = amount of small dogs

L = amount of large dogs

S + L = 49

S = 36 + L

plug the second equation into the correct variable of the first equation so:

(36+L) + L = 49

36 +2L = 49

2L = 49-36

L = 6.5      *this doesn't make sense*

S = 42.5    *this also doesn't make sense*

I don't know why your questions produce answers with 6 and a half dogs, haha, but these are the correct answers. Math never lies!

Answer 2

Answer:

Work below

Step-by-step explanation:

49 total dogs.

36 more small dogs.

13 big dogs.

lol just realized today's school has sh*t wording and this question can be taken TWO ways. 36 more as in, 36 more dogs in total or 36 more small dogs than large dogs adding the amount of large dogs with this. this gives us 49.

the only way to get the x value (large dogs) and add this on top of the 36 (small dogs) and get 49 is to do 6.5 + 42.5 (36 + 6.5) this gives us 49.

Thanks guy in the comments for giving the second response, after some thinking i realized that i could also read it that way.

F** k today's hw and their wording
