There 49 dogs signed up for dog show. there are 36 more small dogs than large dogs. how many small dogs are signed up to compete?

Let the number of large dogs = x.

Given 36 more small dogs than large dogs.

So number of small dogs =

Given total 49 dogs signed up for dog show.

So we can write the equation as small dogs + large dogs = total dogs.

We have to move 36 to the other side now by subtracting it from both sides.

To get x, we have to move 2 to the other side by dividing it to both sides.

So there are 6.5 large dogs are signed up.

Number of small dogs =

So there are 42.5 small dogs.

But there can not be a decimal number for number of dogs.
