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

This set notation really seems the hard way to exclude a single value. Anyway...

The domain doesn't include where the denominator is zero, 4x + 7 = 0,

x = -7/4

The range doesn't include the asymptotic value, which is

y=2x/4x = 1/2

So we need domain x ≠ -7/4 and range y ≠ 1/2

Answer: First choice
