There are 6 times as many dogs as cats. Then there are 18 dogs

Solution:

Let the number of cats be "a"

The number of dogs is 6 times more than the number of cats

Then number of dogs is 6a

Total number of dogs and cats = 21

Hence we can say,

a + 6a = 21

7a = 21

a = 3

Hence there 3 cats and number of dogs is 6a = 6 x 3 = 18

Hence there are 18 dogs

Derrecks dog sitting $12 plus $5 per hour

vova2212 [387]

A.
5x+12=3x+18
2x+12=18
2x=6
x=3
you would get paid the same amount if you worked 3 hours at each job

B.
5(5)+12
10+12
22

3(5)+18
15+18
33

you would get paid more at the second job if you worked for 5 hours

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line

wolverine [178]

Answer:

y=3/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-4= -⅔(x-6)

y-4=-⅔x+4

y=-⅔x+4+4

(equation of line 1) y= -⅔x+8 gradient= -⅔

(line 2)gradient=3/2

note* the gradients of perpendicular lines multiplied result to -1

gradient=y²-y²

x²-x¹

3 =y+2

2. x+2

multiply both sides by 2(x+2)to remove the denominators

3(x+2)=2(y+2)

3x+6=2y+4

3x+6-4=2y

3x+2=2y

divide all sides by 2

3/2x+1=y

y=3/2x+1
