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

which of the following is the equation of a line parallel to the line y = -x + 1, passing through the point (4,1)
fomenos

Answer:

A. x + y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the equation is equal for parallel lines,

; Slope = (-1)

;Use the formula

(y - y(coordinate of the given point)) = slope × [(x - x(coordinate of the given point)]

; y - 1 = (-1)(x - 4)

; y - 1 = -x + 4...then move the variable (x) to the left hand side and then move (-1) to the right hand side

; x + y = 4 + 1

; Hence,

; x + y = 5

What is the measurement of angle a?
Illusion [34]
Assuming we have parallel lines, we can solve for x.
Since a = 3x - 10 (vertically opposite angles are equal),
3x - 10 = 2x + 15 (alternate angles are equal)
x = 25

Hence, angle a = 3(25) - 10 = 65°
