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

2z - 6 = 2(2 + 2) - 10
Blababa [14]

Answer:

z=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2z-6=2(2+2)-10  Distribute.

2z-6=4+4-10      Combine like terms.

2z-6=-2              Add 6 on both sides.

   <u>+6 +6</u>

2z=4                   Divide by 2 on both sides.

<u>/2 /2</u>

z=2

Hope this helps! Have a great day ^^
