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

The expression √(128x⁸y³z⁹) is equivalent to the expression 8x⁴yz⁴ √(2yz). Then the correct option is C.
The missing options are given below.
<h3>What is an equivalent expression?</h3>
The equivalent is the expressions that are in different forms but are equal to the same value.
The expression is given below.
⇒ √(128x⁸y³z⁹)
Then the expression is given below.
⇒ √[(64 × 2)(x⁴)²(y²y)(z⁸z)]
⇒ 8x⁴yz⁴ √(2yz)
Then the correct option is C.

Basically we want to know how many times 5/8 goes into 5 1/4.
5 1/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 × 8/5 = 42/5 = 8.4 bags
Since we cannot have a fraction of a bag, he can fill 8 bags completely.
answer: 8 bags
