-4 + x 2 + y
------- = 5 and ------ = 5
2 2
so x = 10 + 4 = 14 and y = 10 - 2 = 8
endpoint N = (14,8)
The cat weighs 14.375 pounds (or 230 ounces even).
Hope this helps!
Basically, you are looking for the ARC SINE of .994 which is
83.72 Degrees
You could also use an online calculator:

Well just substitute y (the first equation) into the second equation.
So
5x-4(5-3x)=-3
Then just solve the equation from there.
5x-20+12x=-3
17x=17
x=1
and if you need y, y=2
