Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
C = number of cats
D = number of dogs
Raul's pet store has a play area that can fit up to 30 cats and dogs.
C + D = 30
The pet store never has more than 8 cats in the play areas.
<h2>
C < 9</h2>
(there can never be 9 or more cats)
As or the number of dogs :
C + D = 30
C = 30 - D
Since we know that C < 9. To get the number of dogs allowed, we just plug in 30 - D for C.
30 - D < 9
30 - 9 < D
or
<h2>
D > 21</h2>
(dogs have to be 22 or more)
The answer is 2x-26
1+2x-27 9*3= 27
1-27+2x You would combine like terms here
2x-26
16:24 students made at least 80% on the test. The question is what is the ratio of students who scored below an 80% to the total number of students. 8:24 would be the right answer, but since it is asking for the answer in the simplest form, it would be 1:3.
