I can bring it down, and leave it to enough to simplify for you. The answer is 38.01315561.Any questions just ask! :)
In equation 1, When x = 0, y = -3 ( 0, -3)
And when y = 0, x = -3....( 3,0)
In equation 2, when x = 1, y = -4(1,-4)
and when y = 2, x = 5....(5,2)
You have to plot the points on graph paper and the solutions are where the two lines intersect.
You can use any points for x and y.
Answer:
-2.26 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the dog's initial weight be d.
Then, one year later, the dog weighs 3.73 lb less, and thus weighed d - 3.73 lb.
During the next year, the dog gained 1.47 lb, so now weighs d - 3.73 + 1.47 lb, or
d - 2.26 lb. This indicates a total weight loss of 2.26 over these two years.
