2x + y = 350
x + 2y = 475
3x + 3y = 825
x + y = 275
x = 275 - y
(plug back into first equation)
2(275 - y) + y = 350
550 - 2y + y = 350
550 - y = 350
-y =-200 or y = $200 (dog)
therefore, x = $75 (cats)
Check
2(75) + 200 = 350
75 + 400 = 475
HAPPINESS! :)
F(x) = 5 + 2x where x is the number of times he walks the neighbours dog
y-intercept is at y=5 and slope = 2
g(x) :- As x increases by 4 g(x) decreases by -8 so the slope is -8/4 = -2
when x = 0, g(x) = the y intercept is at -1 + (-8/2) = - 5
so equation of g(x) is g(x) = -5 -2x
h(x):- the slope is (3 - 5) / (1 - 0) [ difference in y values / diff in x values]
slope = -2
so we have h(x) = -2x + c where c = the y-intercept
when x = 0 h(x) = 5
so c = 5
h(x) = 5 - 2x
Now j(x)= 2x - 5 - slope is 2 and y intercept = -5
I would use long division
