The number of cats that you have is; 27 cats
<h3>How to calculate algebra word problems?</h3>
Let the number of cats alice has be x.
Since you have thrice the amount of cats that alice has, then you have 3x cats.
Bob has 7 less cats than you. Thus, bob has; 3x - 7
If they have a total of 56 cats, then;
x + 3x - 7 + 3x = 56
7x - 7 = 56
7x = 56 + 7
7x = 63
x = 63/7
x = 9
Thus, number of cats you have = 3x = 3 * 9 = 27 cats

Answer:
24/91
Step-by-step explanation:
6 red socks and 8 black = 14 socks
P( red) = red/total = 6/14 = 3/7
Keep the red sock
5 red socks and 8 black = 13 socks
P(black) = black / total = 8/13
P(red, black, keeping the sock) = 3/7 * 8/13 = 24/91

Hundreds digit : 800
Tens digit : 80
