Complete Question
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat. The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat.
Write and solve an equation to find the weights of the cat and the dog.
Answer:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent:
Weight of cat = x
Weight of Dog = y
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat.
y = 3x - 2........ Equation 1
The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat
y = x + 22....... Equation 2
The equation is given as:
y = y
3x - 2 = x + 22
Collect like terms
3x - x = 22 + 2
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 pounds
Solving for y using any of the equations:
y = 3x - 2
y = 3 × 12 - 2
y = 36 - 2
y = 34 pounds
Therefore:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
26 fl oz ÷ 8 (8 fl oz in a cup) this gives us 26/8 and when we simplify this fraction we get 3 1/4 cups of spaghetti sauce
Answer:
1.7r
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a reflection across the x axis, so the y intercept won't change (12)
f (x) = 3x + 12

g(x) = -3x + 12
I MAY BE WRONG IM ONLY 80% SURE
I'm not exactly sure of what you mean, but if the number (for example) were 2,3, and 6 you could say 2 and 6 multiply to get 6 and 6 divided by 2 would be 3 and so on. You could do this with any operation. Hope this helps, and sorry if this wasa little unclear.
