y=2X-5 and 4X-Y=7

Putting the value of Y in 2nd equation:

4x-2x+5=7

2x=7-5

2x=2

OR,x=2/2=1

putting the value of x in equation 1:

y=2x-5

y=2*1-5

y=2-5

y=-3

Callie has a new kitten. They can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.

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 $x.$

And the kitten weight = $\frac{x}{2} -3$

Total weight of cat and kitten = 18 pounds.

Now, to set an equation to get the weight of each animal:

$(x)+(\frac{x}{2}-3)=18$

$x+\frac{x}{2} -3=18$

$\frac{2x+x-6}{2} =18$

$\frac{3x-6}{2} =18$

Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:

$3x-6=36$

Adding both sides by 6 we get:

$3x=42$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$x=14\ pounds.$

The weight of cat = 14 pounds.

Substituting the value of $x$ to get the kitten's weight:

$\frac{x}{2} -3\\\\=\frac{14}{2}-3\\\\=7-3\\\\=4.$

The kitten's weight = 4 pounds.

Therefore, the weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.

Need help please can you give answer with working out i can not answer as it is quite gard

Elis [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given:}\\\\AB=3x-4\\AC=2x+12\\BC=7x-2\\AB:AC=1:2\Rightarrow(3x-4):(2x+12)=1:2\\\\\dfrac{3x-4}{2x+12}=\dfrac{1}{2}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(3x-4)(2)=(2x+12)(1)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(3x)(2)+(-4)(2)=2x+12\\\\6x-8=2x+12\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\6x-8+8=2x+12+8\\\\6x=2x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\6x-2x=2x-2x+20\\\\4x=20\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4x}{4}=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\\x=5$

$\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to}\ AC\ \text{and}\ BC:\\\\AC=2(5)+12=10+12=22\\\\BC=7(5)-2=35-2=33\\\\AC:BC=22:33=\dfrac{22}{33}=\dfrac{22:11}{33:11}=\dfrac{2}{3}=2:3$
