Let D be dogs and C be cats

<em>dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c</em>

D + 5 = 2C

<em>If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio  of cats to dogs will be</em>

D + 8 = 2C + 3

<em>Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?</em>

Simply plug in the numbers

20 + 5 = 2(15)

This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30

Alika [10]

Answer: G and F are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur together

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of mutually exclusive events,

The events which can not occur together and probability of them occurring together is 0 are known as mutually exclusive events.

The first statement gives an implication that if one happens then other happens meaning they could both still happen so it is not true.

The second statement contradict the question about being mutually exclusive events.

The third statement also is a implication that if one event occurs then other does or does not occur.

The last statement is correct one that conforms with the question and obeys the definition of mutually exclusive events.
