Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

c = number of cats

d = number of dogs

d = c+6

Set up a ratio:

4/3 = d/c

Then replace d with c+6, so your equation only has one variable.

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{c+6}{c}

Cross multiply

4c = 3(c+6)

Multiply everything in the parentheses by 3.

4c = 3c + 18

Subtract 3c from both sides

4c - 3c = 18

c = 18

d = c + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24

If 2 more cats join, then you will have 20 cats and 24 dogs, so the ratio of dogs to cats will now be 24:20.  Divide each side by 4 for a ratio of 6:5.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3c + 5w = 16

6c + 2w = 22

-6c - 10w = -32

6c  + 2w = 22

-8w = -10

w = 10/8 = 5/4 = $1.25 per lb

3c + 5(1.25) = 16

3c + 6.25 = 16

3c = 9.75

c = $3.25 per lb

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations? 2x + 3y= 6 –3x + 5y = 10
n200080 [17]

Answer:

(0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

solve by addition/elimination

2x + 3y= 6

–3x + 5y = 10  

multiply first equation by 3  and second one by 2 to eliminate x)

6x+9y=18

-6x+10y=20 (add the two equations)

6x+9y-6x+10y=38

19y=38

y=38/19=2

2x+3y=6

2x=6-6

x=0
