Make two equations representing the position of each animal, p and k, for the puppy and kitten respectively.

p=25t and k=180+20t  

The puppy will catch the kitten when p=k so we can say:

25t=180+20t  subtract 20t from both sides

5t=180  divide both sides by 5

t=36

So the puppy will catch the kitten after 36 seconds.

The area of the closet floor is 18 feet. If Saroya buys 32 tiles will she have enough to cover the floor?
kvasek [131]
No shel will not have enough tile.  If you don't know the dimensions of the actual tile how will you solve.  If you have a closet 18 square feet it could be 9 ' x 2 ' = 18 square feet. If the tiles were 12" x 6" you would need 36 tiles.  If the closet was 6' x 3' = 18 square feet you could have the tiles 12" x 6" = 36 tiles.  So you need to know the dimensions of the tile.

Alonzo wrote the equation x=2+4y-5 solve for y
kati45 [8]

hi

if x= 2+4y-5  then        x-2 +5 =  4y   so   y =  (x-2+5)  /4 =  ( x+3) /4

conclusion   y  =  (x+3)/4
