Answer:
He owned Cat for 5 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Owned dog for 9 years.
Dog owned year is one year less than twice as long as he owned a cat.
Lets assume the years that cat has been owned be "x".
Now, finding the number years that Cat hes been owned.
As given, Dog owned year is one year less than twice as long as he owned a cat.
∴ using equation to find the Cat´s owned years.
⇒ 
adding 1 on both side.
⇒ 
dividing both side by 2
⇒
∴x= 
Hence, Cat has been owned for 5 years.
Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon
<u>Let's take this problem step by step</u>:
<u>To find the rate of change is essentially like finding a line's slope</u>:
⇒ the <em>x-values</em> are the <em>number of sodas</em>
⇒ the<em> y-values </em>are the <em>total costs</em>
<em> ⇒ choose</em> two sets of coordinates and find the slope
<u>Let's put that into action</u>
⇒ (24, 18)
⇒ (28, 21)

<u>Since the rate of change is total cost over number of sodas</u>
⇒ <em>unit is '</em>total cost/number of sodas'
<u>Answer: 3/4 total cost/number of sodas</u>

Hope that helps!
