Answer:
3.4 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>I can solve for x and y
A) 2x - 4y = 12
A) 2x = 4y + 12
A) x = 2y + 6
Substituting into B
B) 3* (2y +6) - 5y = 20
B) 6y + 18 -5y = 20
B) y = 2
B) x = 10
</span>
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.
2 x 2.5 = 5 cups
Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.
By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.
Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.
<span>Solution
m = {-13, -1}</span>
4 times 4 which is 8 so 8 times 4 which is 32 so divide that by 138 but divide the 138 first and you will get 17.25?
