Answer: 13 cats were at the shelter on Thursday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cats that were at the shelter on Thursday.

Let y represent the number of dogs that were at the shelter on Thursday.

Camden found a record showing that there were a total of 30 cats and dogs on Thursday. This means that

x + y = 30

The animal shelter spends $2.50 per day to care for each cat and $4.00 per day to care for each dog. Camden noticed that the shelter spent $100.50 caring for cats and dogs on Thursday. This means that

2.5x + 4y = 100.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 30 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(30 - y) + 4y = 100.5

75 - 2.5y + 4y = 100.5

- 2.5y + 4y = 100.5 - 75

1.5y = 25.5

y = 25.5/1.5

y = 17

x = 30 - y = 30 - 17

x = 13

No, the given sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

What is Arithmetic Sequence ?

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern. If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.

In the above question,

The sequence is 3,5/2,3/2,-3/2,...

Take the 2nd term and minus the 1st term.

Now take the 3rd term and minus the 2nd term.

We can clearly notice that the differences are not same. Hence there is no common difference and therefore it's not an arithmetic sequence
