Answer:
The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.
d+c=24
d=2c
Substitute the second equation into the first:
(2c)+c=24
3c=24
c=8
d=24-8=16

Answer:
x = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle to the right:
4^2 + x^2 = 8^2
16 + x^2 = 64
y^2 = 48
Triangle to the left:
x^2 + 6^2 = 48
x^2 + 36 = 48
x^2 = 12
x = sqrt(12)
x = 3.5
Answer: x
