Let (a) be the first cat
let (b) be the second cat
a +b=11kg-----(1)
a=b+1500g⇒(1.5 kg)-------(2)
so now u have a system of two unknowns
a=11-b
substitute a in (2)
11-b=b+1.5
11-1.5=2b
2b=9.5
b=9.5/2=4.75
subs. b in (1)
a+b=11
a+4.75=11
a=11-4.75=6.25
so cat (a) is 6.25 kg
and (b) is 4.75 kg
hope I helped

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The y intercept is (0,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y

-4x -2y = 16

-4(0) -2y =16

-2y = 16

-2y/-2 = 16/-2

y = -8

The y intercept is (0,-8)
