Hello!</h2>
The answer is:

<h2>
Why?</h2>
To solve the problem we need to add/subtract like terms. We need to remember that like terms are the terms that share the same variable and the same exponent.
For example, we have:

We have that we were able to add just the terms that were sharing the same variable and exponenr (x for this case).
So, we are given the expression:

Hence, the answer is:

Have a nice day!
Answer:
20 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
35+5=40
40/2=20
X + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 330
4x + 6 = 330
4x = 324, x = 81
Smallest number: 81
Biggest number: 81 + 3 = 84
Sum: 81 + 84 = 165
The answer is 165
Total number of animals at the shelter = 15 + 12 +3 + 5 = 35 animals.
Let the total number of animals be represented by 100%
There are 15 dogs and 12 cats so:
% Number of dogs = 15/35 x 100% = 42.86%
% Number of cats = 12/35 x 100% = 34.28%
