Question

a dog weights two ponds less than three times the weight of a cat. the dog also weights twenty two pounds than the cat. write and solve an equation to find the weights of the dog and the cat.

Answer 1

So if the dog is 22 pounds and weighs three times as much with two subtracted it would be 22-2 which is 20 then that divided by 3 because that’s much more it is and it’s around 6.6
