Answer:

2 cats were cared for

Step-by-step explanation:

c= cats

d=dogs

c+d =7

1.5c+3.5d=20.50

c+d =7

solve for d

d = 7-c

substitute into 1.5c+3.5d=20.50

1.5 c + 3.5 (7-c) = 20.50

distribute

1.5c +24.5 -3.5 c = 20.5

combine like terms

24.5 -2c =20.5

subtract 24.5 from each side

-2c = -4

divide by -2

c =2

A line has a slope of 11 and passes through the point (2,4). ​ PLSS HELPP I NEED IT
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

y = 11x - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation y = mx + b

m (the slope) = 11

x (the x-coordinate) = 2

y (the y-coordinate) = 4

Plug it in for our original equation:

4 = 11*2 + b

4 = 22 + b

4 - 22 = b

b = -18

Therefore, the answer is y = 11x - 18. The tricks to these problems are usually in the same format, when you are given the slope and a point it passes through, just plug in the slope and the x and y, and solve for b. Hope this helps!
