Answer:
dogs - 13
cats - 39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dogs Ma Bernier have be represented with d
She has 3 times as many cats as dogs, the number of cats she has :
cats = 3d
The sum of the cats and dogs is 52
d + 3d = 52
4d = 52
divide both sides of the equation by 4
d = 13
She has 13 dogs
Cats = 3d
= 3 x 13 = 39
