Answer:

Weight of dog: 34 pounds,

Weight of cat: 12 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent weight of dog and c represent weight of cat.

We have been given that a dog weighs two pounds less than three times the weight of a cat.

3 times weight of cat: 3c

We can represent the given information in an equation as: d=3c -2...1

We are also told that the dog also weights twenty-two more pounds than the cat. We can represent the given information in an equation as:

d=c+22...(2)

3c-2=c+22--->c=12

Therefore subsitute c=12 in equation 2

d=+22

d=12+22

d=34

Therefore, the weight of dog is 34 pounds.

Renee uses 12 marshmallows and 8 graham crackers to make 4 s'mores. Drag marshmallows and graham crackers into the box to show h
Anit [1.1K]
To find out how much is needed for 1 you will need to divide each given value by 4:
12 marshmallows / 4 = 3
8 graham crackers / 4 = 2
4 smores / 4 = 1
you then need to multiply each value by 3 :
3 marshmallows x 3 = 9
2 graham crackers x 3 = 6
1 smore x 3 = 3
therefore the answer would be :
9 marshmallows
6 graham crackers

hope this helps you

Latoya has a large collection of basketball cards. She gave half to a friend and a 1/4 to her brother. She still has 75 cards le
Murljashka [212]

Answer: She had 200 cards to start with

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of cards she had initially. This means she had x cards to start with.

She gave half of the cards she had to a friend. This means she gave her friend x/2 cards. She is left with with (x-x/2) = x/2 cards.

She also gave 1/4 of the remaining cards to her brother. This means that she gave (1/4 × x/2) = x/8 cards to her brother.

Remaining number of cards will be x/2 - x/8 = (4x-x)/8 = 3x/8

She still has 75 cards left. This means

3x/8 = 75

Cross multiplying with 8, it becomes

3x = 75×8 = 600

x = 600/3 = 200

She had 200 cards to start with.

Solve by elimination <br> 7x+7y=-7<br> -10x-7y=28
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = - 7, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 7y = - 7 -----> equation 1

- 10x - 7y = 28 -----> equation 2

Add equations 1 & 2,

7x + 7y = - 7

- 10x - 7y = 28

___________

- 3x + 0 = 21

- 3x = 21

x = 21 / - 3

x = - 7

Substitute x = - 7 in equation 1,

7x + 7y = - 7

7y + 7x = - 7

7y + 7 ( - 7 ) = - 7

7y - 49 = - 7

7y = - 7 + 49

7y = 42

y = 42 / 7

y = 6
