Answer:

  C. 2c+12

Step-by-step explanation:

"12 more than 2 times the number of cats" means "12 + 2c", where c is the number of cats.

To get 2 times, we multiply by 2. To get 12 more, we add 12.

Please help! How do I solve this ​
Monica [59]

Answer:

(x,y) --> (-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by elimination...

2x - 3y = 7

4x + y = -7 (times 3; so -3y and 3y cancel out)

2x - 3y = 7

12x + 3y = -21

2x = 7

12x = -21

add together...

14x = -14

x = -1

plug x into one of the original equations and solve for y...

-2 - 3y =7

-3y = 9

y = -3

Apples are on sale for $1.20 a pound. Logan bought 3/4 of a pound. How much money did he spend on apples
kati45 [8]
What I did was turn ¾ in to a fraction (which is 75%) then turned it into a decimal (.75)
then I multiplied .75 by 1.20 and .9
So she spent 90 cents on apples
Hope I helped :)
