Angie Werner, mother of the seven-year-old girl Ayla, found herself in a difficult situation when she tried to help her daughter prepare homework. The woman could not solve the problem about dogs at the exhibition and appealed to users of social networks. The Daily Look turned its attention to The Daily Mail. Terms of the task were: "49 dogs were registered at the exhibition. Small dogs were registered at 36 more than large. How many small dogs were registered? "The woman turned to Facebook members for breastfeeding mothers, where parents usually share their opinions about the pressing problems they face after giving birth. No one helped her there. Most of the group members concluded that the small dogs were 13. However, later, Werner explained that the teacher called the correct answer the figure 42.5. In the fact that the answer was a non-integer number of dogs blamed the district authorities, who sent the puzzle to schools. To solve the task, we need to write equation.

The number of small dogs you need to take is x, then "x minus 36" is the number of large dogs. The resulting equation x + (x-36) = 49 will be 42.5. Earlier in February, users of social networks tried in vain to solve a child's problem, which was asked students fifth grade in the Chinese province of Sichuan on how many years the captain of the ship, which is 26 sheep and 10 goats.
