    The problem identifies that there are 18 total animals with 50 total heads, and the goal is to determine how many are birds and how many are dogs. The plan is to let x represent the number of dogs, with 18 - x representing the number of birds. An equation is set up relating the number of legs from dogs and birds to the total legs of 50. Carrying out the plan by solving the equation results in x = 7 dogs and 18 - 7 = 11 birds. Reviewing the solution confirms it matches the original information given.

    XAVIER RANI VILLANUEVA ENEE1 – A PROCESS QUESTION

    I. Identify The problem


    Given : total number of animals = 18
    Total number of heads = 50
    Identify the number of birds and dogs in the pet store

    II. Devise a Plan


    No. of legs of dogs = 4
    No. of legs of birds = 2
    Let x be the number of dogs
    Let 18 – x be the number of birds

    III. Carry out Plan


    4x+2(18-x) = 50
    4x+36+2x = 50
    4x-2x=50-36
    2x/2 = 14/2
    X=7
    Number of dogs = 7
    Substitute:
    18-x = no. of birds
    18-7 = no. of birds
    11 = number of birds

    IV. Review solution


    7 dogs + 11 birds = 18 animals
    7 ( 4 legs ) + 11 (2 legs ) = 50 legs

    Therefore , there are 11 birds and 7 dogs
