Answer:

Solution given;

let dogs be d and cats be c.

according to the question

3 d +5 c =$365........[1]

5d+3c=$491.............[2]

By doing elimination method

multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3 and subtracting

we get

15d+25c=$365*5

15d+9c=$491*3

- - -

____________

;16c=$352

c= $\frac{352}{16}$ =$22

the cost of one cat is $22.

Tell whether the triangle is a right triangle. Show Work.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

This is not a right triangle because the hypotenuse is less than the two sides and aren't equal when following the Pythagorean thm

Step-by-step explanation:

To confirm if a triangle is a right triangle, we must use the Pythagorean thm

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

23^2 + 11.4^2 = 21.2^2

529 + 129.96 = 449.44

658.96 ≠ 449.44

The solid surface area is equal to the solid volume. Find the value of x? The measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$x=7.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent height of the prism.

We know that volume of rectangular is equal to product of its height, width and length.

$\text{Surface area of rectangular prism}=2(wl+lh+hw)$ , where w, h and l represents width, length and height respectively.

We have been given that the surface area of rectangular prism is equal to the volume of the prism. So we can set an equation as:

$lwh=2(wl+lh+hw)$

We are also told that the measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches long and 4 inches wide. Upon substituting these values in above equation, we will get:

$9\cdot 4\cdot x=2(4\cdot 9+9\cdot x+x\cdot 4)$

Let us solve for x.

$36x=2(36+9x+4x)$

$36x=2(36+13x)$

$36x=72+26x$

$36x-26x=72+26x-26x$

$10x=72$

$x=\frac{72}{10}\\\\x=7.2$

Therefore, the value of x is 7.2 inches.

9. Solve for x, 9x - 25 5x + 7 N

kati45 [8]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

9x + -25 = 5x + 7

Reorder the terms:

-25 + 9x = 5x + 7

Reorder the terms:

-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x

Solving

-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

-25 + 9x + -5x = 7 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x

-25 + 4x = 7 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

-25 + 4x = 7 + 0

-25 + 4x = 7

Add '25' to each side of the equation.

-25 + 25 + 4x = 7 + 25

Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0

0 + 4x = 7 + 25

4x = 7 + 25

Combine like terms: 7 + 25 = 32

4x = 32

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 8

Simplifying

x = 8
