Find Brown Dogs: First, let's find out how many dogs are brown and have long hair. We know that 11 dogs are brown.Subtract Short Tails: Out of the 11 brown dogs, we need to subtract the ones that have short tails. We know that 3 brown dogs have short tails and not long hair, and only 1 brown dog has both a short tail and long hair. So, 11 - 3 - 1 = 7 brown dogs have long hair and do not have short tails.Correct Subtraction: But wait, we made a mistake in the previous step. We shouldn't subtract the 3 brown dogs with short tails and not long hair because we're looking for dogs with long hair. So, we should only subtract the 1 brown dog that has both a short tail and long hair. So, 11 - 1 = 10 brown dogs have long hair and do not have short tails.
