Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:

Substitute

into the expression:

We we are asked to solve this kind of problem we are asked to find the value of the value (x in this case). So the first thing we want to do isolate x by subtracting 5/12 from both sides.
x+5/12-5/12=5/8-5/12
Simplify
x=5/8-5/12
Reduce
x=3/3(5/8)-2/2(5/12)
x=15/24-10/24
x=5/24
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x.
24x = 48 - 2y
Divide by 24.
x = 2 - y/12
To get the answer, we can divide 56 by 5 to find one fifth of the cats. Then, we can multiply this number to get four fifths of the cats. Then, we put this number over 90 since there is 90 pets in the entire show. Then, this answer ends up being about half all of the pets are calicos.
