    Answer:

    8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Say the number of rabbits is r, we can write the rabbits, horses, and hamsters in terms of r:

    • Rabbits: r
    • Horses: r-7
    • Hamsters: 3r

    So the total amount of pets is r+(r-7)+3r=33:

    • r+(r-7)+3r=33
    • Remove parenthesis, r+r-7+3r=33
    • Combine like terms, 5r-7=33
    • Add, 5r=40
    • Divide, r=8

    Check your work:

    • Rabbits: 8
    • Horses: 8-7=1
    • Hamsters: 3(8)=24
    • Total: 8+1+24=33
