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

What is the equation of the linear function represented by the table?
Korolek [52]
Hello!

You can put x into the answer choices to see if we get y
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -x + 9
y = -(-5) + 9
y = 5 + 9
y = 14

This could be a answer

y = -(-2) + 9
y = 2 + 9
y = 11

y = -(1) + 9
y = -1 + 9
y = 8

y = -(4) + 9
y = -4 + 9
y = 5

we got y every time so the answer is the first one

The answer is A) y = -x + 9

Hope this helps!

The multiplier of her reduced salary after her raise is ...

  (1 +30%) = 1.30

The multiplier of her raised salary from her original salary is ...

  (0.90)(1.30) = 1.17 = (1 +17%)

Her salary after the 17% raise is ...

  1.17·1500/mo = $1755/mo

How do you solve k/2+9=30
Mrrafil [7]
If you would like to solve the equation k / 2 + 9 = 30, you can calculate this using the following steps:

k / 2 + 9 = 30
k / 2 = 30 - 9 
k / 2 = 21     /*2
k = 21 * 2
k = 42

The result is 42.
