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

Margaret [11]
Question:
l = 5 + w
perimeter = 22
width?

Solution:
Perimeter = 22
2(l + w)     = 22
2(5+w+w) = 22
2 (5 + 2w) = 22
     5 + 2w = 11
           2w = 6
             w = 3

The width of a rectangle is 7 inches less than its length. The area of the rectangle is 120 square inches. Solve for the dimensi
lukranit [14]
A) w + 7 = L
B) w * L = 120
A) w = L -7 then substituting this into B)
(L-7) * L = 120
L² -7L = 120
L² -7L -120 = 0
Solving by quadratic Formula:
L1 = 15 
L2 = -8

If length = 15, then width = 8
