Answer: there were 19 birds at the shelter on Wednesday
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of beds at the shelter on Wednesday.
Let y represent the number of cats at the shelter on Wednesday.
Nicole found a record showing that there were a total of 40 birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that
x + y = 40
The animal shelter spends $5.50 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat. Nicole noticed that the shelter spent $283.00 caring for birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that
5.5x + 8.5y = 283 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes
5.5(40 - y) + 8.5y = 283
220 - 5.5y + 8.5y = 283
- 5.5y + 8.5y = 283 - 220
3y = 63
y = 63/3 = 21
x = 40 - y
x = 40 - 21 = 19
Answer:
Q = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to this, you first must multiply the first function by 2:
2 x (x - 3y = 4)
2x - 6y = 8
Which then means that the second function is the same. This means that to find Q you need to find the number that changed +Qy into -6:
2x - 6y = 8
2x + Qy = 8
The 2x's cancel out, and then remove the equals and the 8:
-6y = Qy
<h3>So Q must be -6</h3>

X = 4 AND x = -9
Good luck.
