Answer:

21 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two variables and two sets of data, you can set up a system of equations and use the method of subsitution to solve for a variable which can then be substituted into the other equation.  

First equation:  4c + 4.5d = 147 where c = cats and d = dogs

Second equation: c + d = 35

Solve for d in the second equation:  d = 35 - c

Substitute the expression '35 - c' in for 'd' in the first equation:

4c + 4.5(35 - c) = 147

Distribute: 4c + 157.7 - 4.5c = 147 or 157.5 - 0.5c = 147

Subtract 157.5 from both sides: 157.5 - 157.5 - 0.5c = 147 - 157.5 or -0.5c = -10.5

Divide and solve for c: -0.5c/-0.5 = -10.5/-0.5 or c = 21 cats

What function is vertically stretched by a factor of 3 and translated 4 units right from the parent function
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

B) 3log</span>₅<span>(x-4).

Explanation<span>:

To stretch a function by a factor of 3, we multiply the function by 3. This eliminates A and D.

To translate a function 4 units right, we add -4 to the variable before anything else is applied to it; this eliminates C.

In choice B, the log function is multiplied by 3, which gives us our vertical stretch; and the x is subtracted by 4 before anything else is applied to it, so it is translated 4 units right.</span></span>

longer piece: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

then the longer piece will be 3x + 2

<u>if they join together</u>:

  • 3x + 2 + x = 10
  • 4x + 2 = 10
  • 4x = 10 -2
  • 4x = 8
  • x = 2
