Answer:

There would be 14 cats and 9 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of cats and dogs, we need to set up the system of equations. To do so, start by setting cats as x and dogs as y. Now we can write the first equation to show the total number of animals.

cats + dogs = 23

x + y = 23

Now we can write a second one that shows the difference in the number of cats and dogs.

cats - dogs = 5

x - y = 5

Now we can add the two equations together to solve for x.

x + y = 23

x - y = 5

2x = 28

x = 14

Now that we have the number of cats, we can find the number of dogs by using either equation.

x + y = 23

14 + y = 23

y = 9

how do you find a percentage of a number. Provide an example. Well not a specific number put jow do i find it ?
ollegr [7]
To find a percentage, if I am ready your question correctly, would be as simple as dividing the number by 100. For example, finding the percentage of 73.

73/100 = .73%

You could also just move the decimal place over two spots to the left.

Answer:

StartFraction 7 over 2 EndFraction can be used to find the unit rate if one divides 7 by 2 and compares the result to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have the points

B(2, 7) and D(4, 14)

substitute the values

The unit rate is

therefore

StartFraction 7 over 2 EndFraction can be used to find the unit rate if one divides 7 by 2 and compares the result to 1

Answer:

D.(2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Staring point = (2, -4)
  • Since he moved 6 units up, so, there will be change in only y-coordinate of the starting point and x-coordinate will remain unchanged.
  • End point of the segment = (2, - 4 + 6) = (2, 2)
