Answer:
16cats and 19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
if we say that x is birds and y is cats we can say that:
4.5x+8.5y=221.5 ( the amount birds and cat both need)
y+x =35 (number of cats and cats)
x=35-y
4.5(35-y) +8.5y= 221.5
157.5-4.5y +8.5y =221.5
4y=64
y= 16
16+x=35
x=19
y-intercept for x = 0.
Substitute x = 0 to the equation of the function:
16 - 12 + 60 = 9
