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

Answer:
the polynomial has degree 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the degree of a polynomial is given by the degree of its leading term (the term with largest degree). Recall as well that the degree of a term is the maximum number of variables that appear in it.
So, let's examine each of the terms in the given polynomial, and count the number of variables they contain to find their individual degrees. then pick the one with maximum degree, and that its degree would give the actual degree of the entire polynomial.
1) term 
contains four variables "x" and two variables "y", so a total of six. Then its degree is: 6
2) term 
contains two variables "x" and five variables "y", so a total of seven. Then its degree is: 7
3) term 
contains four variables "x" and four variables "y", so a total of eight. Then its degree is: 8
This last term is therefore the leading term of the polynomial (the term with largest degree) and the one that gives the degree to the entire polynomial.
