Let us say that:
a = black kittens
b = white kittens
We know that:
a = 5 b
a + b = 25
Therefore:
5 b + b = 25
6 b = 25
b = 4.17
But we cannot have a fraction value for the number of
kittens, so round off:
b = 4
So a is:
a = 25 – 4 = 21

Step-by-step explanation:
y - 3 = -1(x- -2)
y-3 = -x -2
Y = -x +1
Answer: think the answers near tenth
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
