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

<u>Solution:</u>

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

How can I solve this?

The 3 inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.

Angle K is given as 48 degrees.

Angle M would be 90 degrees.

Angle J = 180 - 90 - 48 = 42

Angle J = 42 degrees

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1, −4) with a slope of one half . (1 point)
bixtya [17]
3rd one
Reason: 
Point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1) 
y1=-4
x1=1
m=1/2
Put it all together and you get a final answer of:
y-(-4)=1/2(x-1)
two negatives make one positive
so, 
final answer:y+4=1/2(x-1)
