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

Answer:
Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let tap B fills the pool alone in the time = x hours
So in one hour part of pool will be filled = 
Another tap A when turned on, it takes time to fill the pool = x-5 hours
So in one hour part of the same pool filled = 
Now both the taps A and B are turned on then time taken to fill the pool = 3 hours.
Part of the pool filled in one hour by both the taps = 
Now we form an equation
Part of pool filled in one hour by tap A + Part of pool filled in one hour by tap B = Part of pool filled in one hour by both the taps when turned on



3(x - 4) = x(x - 5)
x² -5x = 3x - 12
x² - 8x + 12 = 0
x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0
x(x - 6) - 2(x - 6) = 0
(x -2)(x - 6) = 0
x = 2, 6 hours
We will take higher value of x as x = 6 hours for tap B.
Time taken by tap A = 6 - 4 = 2 hours.
Therefore, Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.
Given:
The equation is

To find:
The coefficient and reciprocal.
Solution:
We have,

Here,
is multiplied with x.
So, the coefficient of x is
.
To find the reciprocal, we need to interchange numerator and denominator of a fraction.
So, the reciprocal of
is 
Therefore, the reciprocal is 3.
The numbers are 5 and 2.
Reciprocals: 5- 5/10
2- 2/10
(2/10)+(5/10)= 7/10
5-2= 3
Answer: 5 and 2
