You can put this solution on YOUR website! David has 10 pets. All his pets are either fish or hamsters. He has two more fish than hamsters. How many hamsters does David have?
---------
Let # of hamsters be "x".
Then # of fish is "x+2"
-----
Equation:
x + (x+2) = 10
2x + 2 = 10
2x = 8
x = 4 (# of hamsters)
x+2 = 6 (# of fish)
