If we assume that everyone in the group is an owner, we would have
legs.
legs
Therefore, we need 24 more legs.
These 24 additional legs can be made from the difference of legs between the owners and dogs.
In this case, dogs have more legs than an owner.
24 ÷ 2 = 12.
There are 12 dogs in the group.
Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).
So we get
Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get
⇒Solve for x (divide both sides
)
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing. This is the same as multiplying both sides by
⇒
