Total: 73
dogs: x
cats: 2x+10

2x+10+x=73
3x+10=73
3x=63
x=21

dogs: x
dogs: 21

cats: 2x+10
cats: 52

Check answer:
cats+dogs=73
52+21=73

There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.

Best of luck my friend. :)

Determine the volume in litres of 14kg of petrol of density 700kg/m³​
valkas [14]

Answer:

p =  \frac{m}{v}

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is the ratio of an object's mass to its volume, and it measures how compact an object is. The density of an object, p, is directly proportional to its mass, m, and inversely proportional to its volume, V:

p =  \frac{m}{v}

Please help me :) please
dangina [55]

Answer:

In bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

6/6 = 9/a

So a = 9.

6/c = a/4.5

6/c = 9/4.5 = 2

So c = 3.

By similar triangles:

d/5 = 6/ (6+6+3)

d/5 = 6/15 = 2/5

So d = 2.

Also by similar triangles

b/5 = 12/15 = 4/5

So b = 4.

Suppose we want to choose colors, without replacement, from the colors red, blue, green, and purple.
DerKrebs [107]

The number of ways when the choice is not relevant is 4

<h3>How to determine the number of ways?</h3>

The number of colors are:

Colors, n = 4

The color to choose are:

r = 3

<u>Relevant choice</u>

When the choice is relevant, we have:

Ways = ^nP_r

This gives

Ways = ^4P_3

Evaluate

Ways = 24

Hence, the number of ways when the choice is relevant is 24

<u>Not relevant choice</u>

When the choice is not relevant, we have:

Ways = ^nC_r

This gives

Ways = ^4C_3

Evaluate

Ways = 4

Hence, the number of ways when the choice is not relevant is 4
