Let D be dogs and C be cats
<em>dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c</em>
D + 5 = 2C
<em>If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio of cats to dogs will be</em>
D + 8 = 2C + 3
<em>Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?</em>
Simply plug in the numbers
20 + 5 = 2(15)
This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30

450-375 = 75
75/375 = 0.2
You got a 20% raise.
Proof:
375*.2 = 75
375+75 = 450
Answer:
x = -2, y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
13(y + 6) - 6y = 22
=> 13y + 78 - 6y = 22
=> 7y = -56
=> y = -8
x = -8 + 6
=> x = -2
