I got ten. Here's the equation.
x = 1/2x + 5
<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>
<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>
<span>1/2x = 5 </span>
<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>
<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>
<span>x = 10 cats</span>

He would have to work 24 weeks to get the same amount from each job.
(<span>4x2</span><span> – </span><span>4x</span><span> – </span>7)(x<span> + </span>3)<span>
</span> = (<span>4x2</span><span> – </span><span>4x</span><span> – </span>7)(x) + (<span>4x2</span><span> – </span><span>4x</span><span> – </span>7)(3)<span>
</span><span> = </span><span>4x2</span>(x<span>) – </span><span>4x</span>(x<span>) – </span>7(x<span>) + </span><span>4x2</span>(3<span>) – </span><span>4x</span>(3<span>) – </span>7(3)<span>
</span><span> = 4x3 – 4x2 – 7x + 12x2 – 12x – 21</span><span>
</span><span> = 4x3 – 4x2 + 12x2 – 7x – 12x – 21</span><span>
</span><span> = 4x3 + 8x2 – 19x – 21</span>
B) <span>Stocks tend to be better long-term investments than bonds because bonds do not have the same growth potential that stocks do.</span>
