Ignore the "$".

Jenny's grandmother has $24$ cats. Seventeen of the cats do not catch mice. Ten of the cats have black fur. What is the smallest possible number of cats that do not catch mice that have black fur?

Note that  24  - 10  =  14  don't have black  fur

And suppose  that these 14 are part of the 17 that don't catch mice

Then3 that catch mice  must also have black furand this is the smallest number that do not catch mice but have black fur

answer: was that a question or answer?

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
