There are five times as many yellow labs as terriers in the dog park if there are 42 dogs and how many dogs are terriers please complete the equation and solve

Answer 1

y = 5t

y + t = 42

Let's look at soccer. If David = a midfielder and we need to substitute a midfielder, we can substitute David.

5t + t = 42

Now, just a lone coefficient means there's one of them. This does not mean there are zero!

6t = 42

6t/6 = 42/6

t = 7 terriers
