Answer:

There would be 14 cats and 9 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of cats and dogs, we need to set up the system of equations. To do so, start by setting cats as x and dogs as y. Now we can write the first equation to show the total number of animals.

cats + dogs = 23

x + y = 23

Now we can write a second one that shows the difference in the number of cats and dogs.

cats - dogs = 5

x - y = 5

Now we can add the two equations together to solve for x.

x + y = 23

x - y = 5

2x = 28

x = 14

Now that we have the number of cats, we can find the number of dogs by using either equation.

x + y = 23

14 + y = 23

y = 9

If x/y + y/x = -1 , find the value of x^3 - y^3

marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the first equation by xy, we have ...

x^2 +y^2 = -xy

Factoring the expression of interest, we have ...

x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 +xy +y^2)

Substituting for xy using the first expression we found, this is ...

x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 -(x^2 +y^2) +y^2) = (x -y)(0) = 0

The value of x^3 -y^3 is 0.

Draw the graphs of the equations x – y = 1 and 2x + y = 8. Shade the area bounded by these two lines and y-axis. Also, determine

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Using Geometry to answer the question would be the simplest:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remembering the formula for the area of a triangle which is $A=\frac12bh$ . One can then tackle the question by doing the following:

Step 1 Find the y-intercepts

The y-intercepts are found by substituting in $x=0$ .

Which gives you this when you plug it into both equations:

$-y=1\\y=-1\\y=8$

So the y-intercepts for the graphs are $(0,-1)\\$ , and $(0,8)$ respectively.

Now one has to use elimination to solve the problems by adding up the equations we get:

$x-y=1\\2x+y=8\\3x=9\\x=3$

Now to solve for the y component substitute:

$2(3)+y=8\\y=2$

Therefore, the graphs intersect at the following:

$(3,2)$

Now we have our triangle which is accompanied by the graph.

now to solve it we must figure out how long the base is:

$b=8-(-1)\\b=9$

The height must also be accounted for which is the following:

$h=3$

Now the formula can be used:

$A=\frac12bh=\frac12(9)(3)=\frac{27}2\ \text{units}^2$

Mario has LaTeX: 2\frac{1}{4}2 1 4 pounds of trail mix. He puts equal amounts of the trail mix into 6 bags for a hike with his f

ioda

Answer:

<h2><em>0.375 pounds </em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of trail mix in each bag be x pounds. If Mario has $2\frac{1}{4}$ pounds of trail mix and puts equal amounts of the trail mix into 6 bags for a hike with his friends, the amount of trail mix in each bag can be derives using the expression;

$2\frac{1}{4} = 6 * x$

solving for x

$\dfrac{9}{4} = 6x\\\\2.25 = 6x\\\\divide\ both \ sides \ by \ 6\\\\\dfrac{2.25}{6} = \dfrac{6x}{6} \\\\x = 0.375\\$

<em>Hence 0.375 pounds of trail mix will be in each bag</em>
