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

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=270\text{ cm}^2    

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a container is shaped like a triangle prism. Each base of container is an equilateral triangle with each side 6 cm. The height of container is 15 cm.

To find the lateral surface area of our given container we will use lateral surface area formula of triangular prism.

\text{Lateral surface area of triangular prism}=(a+b+c)*h, where, a, b and c represent base sides of prism and h represents height of the prism.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=(\text{6 cm+ 6 cm+6 cm})*\text{15 cm}

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=\text{18 cm}*\text{15 cm}

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=270\text{ cm}^2

Therefore, lateral surface area of our given container is 270 square cm.

What is the y-intercept, b, of the additive relationship represented by this table?
mina [271]

Answer:

  • b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the table to find the slope and y-intercept

<u>Find the slope:</u>

  • m = (6 - 4)/(3 - 1) = 2/2 = 1

<u>Find b using the pair (1, 4):</u>

  • 4 = 1*1 + b
  • b = 4 - 1
  • b = 3

<u>The line is:</u>

  • y = x + 3

The y-intercept is 3
