Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cats : dogs

5 : 3

Since you are looking for dogs it is :-

$\frac{dogs}{cats}$ × 60 cats (the number of cats).

$\frac{3}{5}$ × 60 cats = 36 dogs.

∴ There are 36 dogs.

Solve with using elimination 3х + 5y = 54 6х +4y = 72

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

y = 6 x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

(3х + 5y = 54)-2 times by -2

6х +4y = 72

-6х + -10y = -108 now combine the equations

6х + 4y = 72

-6y = -36 now divide

y = 6

Plug 6 in 6х +4 * 6 = 72

x=8

30 tens = ones 30 tens = hundreds

Svetllana [295]

30 tens = 30 x 10 = 300

300 ones = 300 x 1 = 300

300 is your answer

30 tens = 30 x 10 = 300

3 hundreds = 3 x 100 = 300

3 is your answer

The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

GalinKa [24]

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and (0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "P is the length of the line segment from D". Were you given a length P to help you determine which point. Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given. The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points.
I hope this helps!
