In a pet adoption center, there were a total of 252 cats and dogs. The number of cats exceeds the number of dogs by 44. Find the number of cats and dogs in the adoption center.

Respuesta :

Answer:

cats = 148

dogs = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

(d + 44) + d = 252

2d + 44 = 252

      -44     -44

2d = 208

divide by 2

d = 104

252 - 104 = 148
