Step-by-step explanation:
3n+4n=-14
now add 3n and 4n
7n = -14
divide both by 7
n = -2
<span>The total number (n) = 28. This includes the number of cats (c) and the number of dogs (d), which is three times the number of cats. Therefore n = c + d and 28 = c + 3c. 28 = 4c. C = 28/4. C = 7. Kim trained 7 cats.</span>
