The weight of cat is <u>14 pounds</u> and the weight of kitten is <u>4 pounds</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Callie has a new kitten. It can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18 pounds.
Now, to find the weight of each animal:
Let the cat's weight be 
And the kitten weight = 
Total weight of cat and kitten = 18 pounds.
Now, to set an equation to get the weight of each animal:




<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>Adding both sides by 6 we get:</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>The weight of cat = 14 pounds.</em>
Substituting the value of
to get the kitten's weight:

<em>The kitten's weight = 4 pounds.</em>
Therefore, the weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.
