Answer:

98 cats and 19 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

cat = c

dog = d

The animal shelter currently has a total of 117 animals

c + d = 117

c = 117 - d

the number of cats is 3 more than 5 times the number of dogs

c = 3 + 5d

subtitute c

117 - d = 3 + 5d

117 - 3 = 5d + d

114 = 6d

6d = 114

d = 114/6 = 19

so, the cat is 117-19 = 98

Here are two shapes with the same area. Work out the perimiter of the rectangle.
Lilit [14]
So, we know the perimeter is 24 cm. and the top part is the left part, (x) + 2, but remember, we need to have it be a number that, multiplied by 2, is 24. So, using this formula, the length, (top / bottom) is 7, and x = 5. Because 5 + 5 = 10, and when length is +2, it adds up to 14. 10 + 14 = 24. So, length is 7, width, (left, right) is 5.

Math help!! This is really difficult​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

y = -3/2 x +13

Step-by-step explanation:

We want our line to be perpendicular to

y = 2/3 x -1

The slope of this line is 2/3   (since it is written in the form y = mx+b and m is the slope)

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

m = -(3/2)

The slope of our new line is -3/2

We can use point slope form of the equation

y-y1 - m (x-x1)

y - 7 = -3/2 (x-4)

Distribute

y-7 = -3/2x +6

Add 7 to each side

y-7+7 = -3/2 x +6+7

y = -3/2 x +13
