Answer:
-24
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply through by the denominator (that is, 2)
Collect like terms
Divide through by - 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, 3x−2<2x+1
⇒3x−2x<1+2
⇒x<3orx∈(−∞,3)
The lines y=3x−2 and y=2x+1 both will intersect at x=3
Clearly, the dark line shows the solution of 3x−2<2x+1.
Complete Question
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat. The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat.
Write and solve an equation to find the weights of the cat and the dog.
Answer:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent:
Weight of cat = x
Weight of Dog = y
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat.
y = 3x - 2........ Equation 1
The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat
y = x + 22....... Equation 2
The equation is given as:
y = y
3x - 2 = x + 22
Collect like terms
3x - x = 22 + 2
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 pounds
Solving for y using any of the equations:
y = 3x - 2
y = 3 × 12 - 2
y = 36 - 2
y = 34 pounds
Therefore:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
