Your equations would be

c+d=10
5c+6d=56     (c= # of cats, d= # of dogs)  Then solve

I am using elimination and multiply the first equation by -5

-5c-5d=-50
5c+6d=56

Then eliminate

-d=-6   Divide by -1   d=6

Then solve for c

c+6=10
c=4

Hope this helps!

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract starting value minus the final value (decrease)

\$5.75 - \$4.60\\\\= 5.75 - 4.60 \\\\= 1.15

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number

1.15 \div 5.75\\\\= \frac{1.15}{5.75}\\\\= 0.2

Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to get a percent decrease

0.2 \times 100\\\\= 20

Therefore, the percent decrease of the price of paper per package is 20%

<em>Note: If the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not a decrease.</em>

The line 2x + 3y = -6 intersects the x axis at (a,0) and the y axis at (0,b) what is a + b ?
USPshnik [31]
2x + 3y = -6 (Subtract 2x from both sides)
3y = -2x - 6 (Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x) which will give you y = -2/3x - 2 and this graphed would cross the x-axis at (-3,0) and the y-axis at (0, -2). So a + b = -5

Y+3=2(x+5), write the equation of the line in slope intercept form.
Alex

Answer:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

y+3=2(x+5)

step 1: use distributive property

y+3=2(x)+2(5)

y+3=2x+10

step 2: subtract 3 on both sides to make y by itself

y+3=2x+10

-3 -3

final answer: y=2x+7

Arada [10]

Length of floor = length of room = 7.5 units

Width of floor = \frac{1}{6} * Width of Room = \frac{1}{6} * \frac{32}{5}

⇒ Width of floor = 1.067 units
