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

Darina [25.2K]
1.37x + 1.08y = 16.36
x + y = 13

x = 13 - y
1.37* (13-y) + 1.08y = 16.36
17.81 - 1.37y + 1.08y = 16.36
1.08y - 1.37y = 16.36 - 17.81
-0.29y = -1.45
y = 5

x + 5 = 13
x = 13-5
x = 8

He bought 8 notebooks and 5 book covers

Someone help me pls <br><br>47 as the sum of ______
Elanso [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a) 6² +3² +1² +1² = 47

  (b) 5² +4² +2² +1² +1² = 47

  (c) 3³ +4² +2² = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

It can work reasonably well to start with the largest square less than the target number, repeating that approach for the remaining differences. When more squares than necessary are asked for, then the first square chosen may need to be the square of a number 1 less than the largest possible.

The approach where a cube is required can work the same way.

(a) floor(√47) = 6; floor(√(47 -6^2)) = 3; floor(√(47 -45)) = 1; floor(√(47-46)) = 1

__

(b) floor(√47 -1) = 5; floor(√(47-25)) = 4; ...

__

(c) floor(∛47) = 3; floor(√(47 -27)) = 4; floor(√(47 -43)) = 2
