Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is the weights of the rabbit and the ferret together which is

r + f = 7.

The second equation puts the weight of the ferret in terms of the rabbit. If the ferret's weight is 2 pounds more than the rabbit, then

f = r + 2 (the word "is" means equals). Since we know what f is equal to, we will sub it into the first equation and solve for r:

r + (r + 2) = 7 and

2r + 2 = 7 and

2r = 5 so

r = 2.5 pounds.

A rabbit weights 2.5 pounds and the ferret weights 7 - 2.5 which is 4.5 pounds.

bobby’s christmas list had 3 more than twice as many items on it than johnny’s list. johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

<em>Johnny had </em><em>5</em><em> items and Bobby had </em><em>13</em><em> items.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that Johnny has x items and Bobby has y items in their list.

Bobby had 3 more than twice as many items on it than Johnny. So,

\Rightarrow y=3+2x  ----------1

Johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby. So,

\Rightarrow y-8=x  -----------2

Putting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1, we get

\Rightarrow y=3+2(y-8)

\Rightarrow y=3+2y-16

\Rightarrow 2y-y=16-3

\Rightarrow y=13

Putting the value of y in equation 2,

\Rightarrow 13-8=x

\Rightarrow x=5

So, Johnny had 5 items and Bobby had 13 items.
