Answer: The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.


Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of Priya's cat =5\frac{1}{2}\ pounds

Now, 5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\ pounds

The weight of her dog =8\frac{1}{4}\ pounds

8\frac{1}{4}=\frac{33}{4}\ pounds

Let cat is n times heavy as dog.

Then n=\text{cat's weight}\div\text{dog's weight}

n=\frac{{11}{2}\div\frac{33}{4}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{11}{2}\times\frac{4}{33}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{2}{3}

Hence, The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.

Which could be the first step in solving this system of equations by substitution?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The first step is to replace the y in y-x=15 with 7x (we can do this because the first equation tells us that they're equal)

solve and get

(2.5,17.5)

or x= 2.5 y=17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to recognize that y=7x which means that we can just replace the y in the second equation with 7x

7x-x=15

6x=15

x=2.5

Then we can solve for y

y=7(2.5)

y=17.5

a line is perpendicular to y = 3/7x - 2 and intersects the point (3,3). What is the equation of this perpendicular line?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

y = -7/3x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope of the perpendicular line

Do this by taking the negative inverse of the first line

m = -7/3

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

y = mx + b

y = -7/3x + b

3 = -7/3(3) + b

3 = -7 + b

b = 10

You should get y = -7/3x + 10 as your final answer.
