Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
e = number of elephants
9 times as many monkeys as elephants
m = 9e
------------------------
60 animals all together
e + m = 60
e + 9e = 60
Combine like terms
10e = 60
Divide both sides by 10
e = 6
The answer is c because ther is only one value for x which is -2.5
He could only make one team, considering that if you do 12-9, you are left with 3, and Jason wants to have his team consisted of 9 players. However, if you make 3 teams with 4 players on each team, or 4 teams with 3 players on each team, you could do that as well.
If you're looking for the number of dogs (I'm assuming, you didn't specify), all you'd have to do is divide the number by two, then round down to find the number of dogs, then check your answer by adding that number and that number plus 5.
For example, yours would look like 125/6=62.5, and rounding down to 60.
Then check your answer by adding 60 and 65, the number of cats. 60+65=125.
There are 60 dogs inside the kennel.
