Answer: there were 19 birds at the shelter on Wednesday
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of beds at the shelter on Wednesday.
Let y represent the number of cats at the shelter on Wednesday.
Nicole found a record showing that there were a total of 40 birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that
x + y = 40
The animal shelter spends $5.50 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat. Nicole noticed that the shelter spent $283.00 caring for birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that
5.5x + 8.5y = 283 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes
5.5(40 - y) + 8.5y = 283
220 - 5.5y + 8.5y = 283
- 5.5y + 8.5y = 283 - 220
3y = 63
y = 63/3 = 21
x = 40 - y
x = 40 - 21 = 19
Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
-4y+2=2y-6
-2y -2-2y -2
-6y =-8
divide by -6
y= 1 1/3
Answer:
C. 490.
Step-by-step explanation:
25% = 0.25.
If the number of emails that Ryan and Taylor each received is x emails then Sara received 2x + 0.25 * 2x = 2.5 emails.
So 2x + 2.5x = 882
x = 882/4.5
x = 196.
So Sara received 2.5 * 196
= 490 emails.
