I got ten. Here's the equation.
x = 1/2x + 5
<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>
<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>
<span>1/2x = 5 </span>
<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>
<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>
<span>x = 10 cats</span>

Answer:
275
Step-by-step explanation:
550 divided by 2 is 275.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = -5x - 1
and
g(x) = 2x + 2
Now
f(3) = - 5 * 3 - 1
= -15 -1
= -16
Also
g(-4) = 2 * (-4) + 2
= - 8 + 2
= - 6
