To determine the combined amount of cats sold: is equal to 117 cats

Let the number of Siamese cats sold be S.

Let the number of House cats sold be H.

Let the combined amount of cats sold be C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Number of Siamese cats sold = 36

Ratio of S to H = 4:9

Total ratio = 4 + 9 = 13

To determine the combined amount of cats sold:

The ratio of Siamese cats sold is given by:

$\frac{4}{13} \times C=36\\\\4C=36\times 13\\\\4C =468\\\\C=\frac{468}{4}$

C = 117 cats

How many solutions does the system have? y=−2x−4 y=3x+3

Molodets [167]

Answer:

One Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

First substitute the y in the first equation with the second equation to get

-2x-4=3x+3

since theres a variable of both sides, you subtract the variable with the least coefficient, in this case, you add 2x to both sides to get

-4=5x+3

subtract the constant on both sides to get

-1=5x

divide both sides by 5

x= -0.2 or -1/5
