Right!

thank you very much for checking the homework

You're very welcome.

To find out how many newspapers Dave delivered on Sunday, we can start by setting up a system of equations using the given information.

Let's call the number of newspapers Dave delivered on Saturday "x". Since he delivered 8 more newspapers on Sunday than on Saturday, we can say that the number of newspapers delivered on Sunday is "x + 8".

The total number of newspapers delivered on both days is given as 52, so we can write the equation:

x + (x + 8) = 52

Now, we can solve for x. By combining like terms, we have:

2x + 8 = 52

Subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation, we get:

2x = 44

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

x = 22

So, Dave delivered 22 newspapers on Saturday.

Now we can calculate the number of newspapers he delivered on Sunday:

x + 8 = 22 + 8 = 30

Therefore, Dave delivered 30 newspapers on Sunday.
