Answer:

Weight of dog: 34 pounds,

Weight of cat: 12 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent weight of dog and c represent weight of cat.

We have been given that a dog weighs two pounds less than three times the weight of a cat.

3 times weight of cat: 3c

We can represent the given information in an equation as:

d=3c-2...(1)

We are also told that the dog also weights twenty-two more pounds than the cat. We can represent the given information in an equation as:

d=c+22...(2)

Equate both equations:

3c-2=c+22

3c-c-2=c-c+22

2c-2=22

2c-2+2=22+2

2c=24

\frac{2c}{2}=\frac{24}{2}

c=12

Therefore, the weight of cat is 12 pounds.

Substitute c=12 in equation (2)

d=c+22

d=12+22

d=34

Therefore, the weight of dog is 34 pounds.
