No of dogs=45
Long fur=26
Brown=17
Neither long fur nor brown=8
Therefore, either long fur or brown=45-8=37
37=26+17-Both
Both=6

PRINCETON REVIEW OFFICIAL SOLUTION:

We are provided a small amount of overlapping information and our matrix can simplify our visualization. The parenthetical information is inferred. In fact, in order to have found the correct answer (6) in the top-left quadrant, we had to have derived either of the two empty quadrants.
