Answer:

20 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion has to be setup to answer this

5/4 = 25/x

x represents the missing number of cats

This fraction represents the relationship amongst dogs and cats

----

To solve cross multiply

5x = 100

(let me down below if you need an explanation on how to cross multiply)

Divide both sides by 5 in order to get the variable by itself

100/5 = 20

x = 20

The shelter has 20 cats

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4b + 8 = 20

Subtract 8 from both sides

4b + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8

4b = 12

Now divide both sides by 4

4b/4 = 12/4

b = 3

Check:

LHS = 4b + 8

= 4*3 + 8

= 12 + 8

= 20 = RHS
