Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The first person has 5 cats.
2. The second person has 2 more cats than the first person.
3. We need to find out how many cats the second person has.

STEP 2

1. Define the variables.
2. Set up the equation.
3. Solve the equation.

STEP 3

Let C1 C_1 represent the number of cats the first person has, which is given as 5 5 .

STEP 4

Let C2 C_2 represent the number of cats the second person has.

STEP 5

Set up the equation based on the problem statement. Since the second person has 2 more cats than the first person, we can write:
C2=C1+2 C_2 = C_1 + 2

STEP 6

Substitute the known value of C1 C_1 into the equation:
C2=5+2 C_2 = 5 + 2

STEP 7

Perform the addition to find C2 C_2 :
C2=7 C_2 = 7
The second person has:
7 cats\boxed{7 \text{ cats}}
