Answer: there were 5 animals in each pack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of toy animals in each pack.

Josiah has 3 packs of toy animals. Each pack has the same number of animals. This means that the number of animals in the 3 packs is

3x

Josiah gives 6 animals to his sister stephanie. This is expressed as 3x - 6. If she has 9 left, it means that

3x - 6 = 9

3x = 9 + 6

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5
