I am confused, please specify what the question is.

Answer 2

Answer: 10 pets

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the only pets in the apartment complex are cats and dogs. We have that the total number of dogs is 10. And for the time being, there are no cats. Hence, the total number of pets for the time being at the apartment complex is 10.

Mathematically,

Let X represent number of dogs

Let Y represent number of cats

Let Z represent total number of pets in the apartment complex.

Z = X+Y

Where, X = 10

Y =0

Z = 10+0 = 10
