<span>Let us start with the schnauzers, the easiest one to imagine. Let us assume that there were x number of schnauzers.
Scottie's are 3 more than schnauzers. So their number is x+3
Wire haired terriers are 5 less than twice the number of schnauzers.
So their number is 2x -5 (2x for twice the number of schnauzers)
Now add all these numbers.
That is x + x+3 + 2x-5 = 4x -2
The total number of dogs, 78, is given in the question
Now we know that 4x -2 =78
4x = 78 +2
= 80
Therefore x = 80/4
= 20.
So there were 20 schnauzers, 23 Scottie’s and 35 wire haired terriers</span>

_______
Solution:
3,500,000 - 2,030,000 = 1,470,000 square miles
Explanation:
Let's fully understand what this word problem is saying. Break it down.
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world.
The Australian Desert is the second largest desert.
This means that the Australian Desert has an area that is less than the Sahara desert.
We are given the size of the Sahara, which is 3,500,000 square miles, but not the size of the Australian desert.The area of the Australian desert is less by 2,030,000 square miles.This is the amount we have to subtract from the area of the Sahara to find the size of the Australian desert:
3,500,000-2,030,000= 1,470,000 square miles. Hope this helps!
