There are 25 cats in the shelter. If the ratio is 5:3, use the fraction dogs over cats or  5/3 = x/15 and cross multiply to find the number of cats. After cross multiplying, you would get 75=3x. Then, solve for x. 75/3 is 25 so there are 25 cats if there are 15 dogs.

The length of a rectangle is 8 more than the width. The area is 105 square centimeters. Find the length and width of the rectang
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Width =  7 cm

Length = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Length = w + 8

Area of rectangle = 105 sq. cm

length * breadth = 105

(w + 8)*w = 105

Use distributive property

w² + 8w = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

Sum = 8

Product = -105

Factors = 15 , -7   {15 +(-7) = 8 & 15*(-7) = -105}

w² - 7m + 15m - 105 = 0

w(w - 7) + 15(m - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 15) = 0

Ignore w + 15= 0 as measurements will not be in negative value

w - 7 = 0

w = 7

Width = 7 cm

Length = 7 + 8 = 15 cm

Chelsey wants to join a fitness club. The fitness club charges an initial membership fee of $55 and a monthly fee of $19.50. She
Kay [80]
So if you have to pay 55 out front and then continue to pay 19.50 monthly the equation will look like this:
19.50*m + 55 = x
(M stands for month)
She has 250 dollars to spend so add that in for x
<span>19.50*m + 55 = 250. 
Use inverse operations.
250-55 and 55-55
19.50*m = 195
195/19.50 and 19.50/19,50
m=10
Your answer is 10</span>
