Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that At the pet owner’s meeting, there are 20 people who own dog, and 35people who own cat and 9 people own goldfish. Some people own both catand dog and some people own both gold fish and cat. No dog owners owngoldfish. There are twice as many people who own both goldfish and catthan people who own both dog and cat.
Total no of people =52
The venn diagram attached gives a clear picture
assuming x to be owners of both dog and cat. Then 2x is for both goldfish and cats.
Totalling all mutually exclusive we get
64-3x=52
x=4
No of owners who own both cat and dog =4
This is simply a question about ratios. This ratio means that for every 1 cm on the map, there are 12 km in actuality. You can set this problem up in fractions:
1 cm 12 cm
-------- = ----------
12 km x
To solve for x, we cross-multiply, for the moment ignoring units. Remember, your answer will be in km.
1*x=12*12
x=144
If x=144, then for 12 cm, there are 144 km.
Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1
