the shelter, which equation represents the relationship between the number
of cats and dogs?
F. d + 37 = 78 G. d - 37 = 78 H. C + 37 = 78 I. C - 37 = 78

Answer 1

`\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{We need to find the correct equation that represents the statement}\\\\\text{We know that there are 37 MORE cats in the shelter, so we would be }\\\text{adding 37}\\\\\text{We know that there are also dogs in the shelter}\\\\\text{We would have d as our variable for dogs}\\\\\text{This means that our answer would be F}\\\\\boxed{\text{Answer: F. d+37=78}}`
