Answer:
Anu has 8 rabbits, 1 horse, and 24 hamsters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's suppose the number of rabbits, horses, and hamsters are x, y, and z respectively.
Then we know x + y + z = 33. -(i)
She has 7 more rabbits than horses, so we can form the equation x = y + 7. -(ii)
She also has 3 times as many hamsters as rabbits, so we can form the equation 3x = z. -(iii)
Now let's substitute the value of x in equation (i).
y + 7 + y + z = 33.
We know z = 3x and x = y + 7, so we get
y + 7 + y + 3(y + 7) = 33.
2y+7+3y+21=33.
5y+28=33.
5y = 33-28
y=1.
Now we can put y = 1 and z = 3x in equation(i).
x+1+3x=33
4x=33-1
4x=32
x=8
Now we can put both values of x and y in equation (i).
8+1+z=33
z=33-9
z=24
So, Anu has 8 rabbits, 1 horse, and 24 hamsters.
