There are 124 dogs and cats in Miss Mulero's backyard. There are eight more dogs than cats. What is the total number of dogs in Miss Mulero's backyard?

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.
