Complete Question
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat. The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat.
Write and solve an equation to find the weights of the cat and the dog.
Answer:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent:
Weight of cat = x
Weight of Dog = y
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat.
y = 3x - 2........ Equation 1
The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat
y = x + 22....... Equation 2
The equation is given as:
y = y
3x - 2 = x + 22
Collect like terms
3x - x = 22 + 2
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 pounds
Solving for y using any of the equations:
y = 3x - 2
y = 3 × 12 - 2
y = 36 - 2
y = 34 pounds
Therefore:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds

Answer: 1,000
First, you have to find how much 7.5% is coming out of 10,000. So in this case it's 750. Multiply 750 by 12 years. Thats 9000, you then subtract 9000 and 10,000 to get 1,000.
Answer:
63 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Area shaded = Area big circle- Area of small circle;
200 pi= pi•(2x)^2 -pi•6^2;
200pi= pi•4x^2 -pi•36;
200pi=pi•4(x^2 -9) divide both sides by 4pi;
50=x^2 -9; So x=sqrt(59)~7.68cm
