Let the number of large dogs = x.

Given 36 more small dogs than large dogs.

So number of small dogs =
x+36

Given total 49 dogs signed up for dog show.

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


(x)+(x+36) = 49


x+x+36 = 49


2x+36 = 49

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


2x+36-36 = 49-36


2x = 49-36


2x = 13

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


(2x)/2 = 13/2


x = 6.5

So there are 6.5 large dogs are signed up.

Number of small dogs =
6.5+36 = 42.5

So there are 42.5 small dogs.

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