Hey there!

When referring to the sum, we need to find a expression that would mean that the dogs and the cats will be adding.

So, in this case, your correct answer is C.) dogs+6 = x.

Hope this helps.

Hello! :)

The sum of the number of dogs and cats.

Cats= 6

Dogs= d

It is asking for the sum. (the number added together)

d+6 or "C" is the correct answer.
