Answer:

let x be the number of cats and y be the number of dogs:

x + y = 40

4x + 4y = 160

If you divide both sides of the second equation by 4, you will be left with:

x + y = 40

Then, subtract both equations:

x + y =40

- (x + y = 40)

0 = 0

Since you have a number = a number, there are infinite solutions.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

y = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 4

y -6 = 4 ( x- 2 )

distribute the 4 to ( x - 2 )

y - 6 = 4x - 8

add 6 to both side

y = 4x - 2

Hopefully this helps you understand this concept.
