alis dog weighs 8 times as much as her cat. together, the two pets weigh 54 pynds. how much does Alis dog weigh?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The weight of the Alis dog is \fbox{\bf48} pounds.

Further explanation:

Consider the weight of the Alis dog as xpoundsand weight of the cat as ypounds.

Since, the weight of the Alis dog is 8 times the weight of the cat. It can be written as follows:

x=8y                                                                     ......(1)

Now, the total weight of the cat and dog are given as 54 pounds. It can be written as follows:

x+y=54                                                                 ......(2)

From equation (1), substitute 8y for x in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}8y+y&=54\n9y&=54\ny&=(54)/(9)\ny&=6\end{aligned}

Thus, the weight of the cat is 6 pounds.

Substitute 6 for y in equation (1) to obtain the weight of Alis dog as follows:

\begin{aligned}x&=8(6)\n&=48\end{aligned}

Thus, the weight of the Alis dog is 48 pounds.

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? Enter your answer in the boxes.y = x +

Answers

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 5 / 2x +5.

What is the equation?

A formula known as an equation uses the equals sign to denote the equality of two expressions.

The standard equation of the line in slope-intercept form is given by,

y = m × x + c

Here m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

As we can see from the graph, the line cut the y-axis on 5,

so c = 5,

Slope (m) = (5-0) / [0-(-2)]

m = 5 / 2

Hence, the equation is

y = 5 / 2x +5

Therefore, the equation is y = 5 / 2x +5.

Do 3/7 and 7/3 represent the same length on a number line? Explain

Answers

No it does not  represent the same length on a number line.

What is number line?

A number line is a pictorial representation of numbers on a straight line.

here, we have,

3/7 and 7/3

now, 3/7 =0.42 <1

and, 7/3 = 2.33 >1

so, we get,

3/7 is below 1.

And 7/3 is an improper fraction and can be simplified to 1 1/3.

hence, No,  it does not  represent the same length on a number line.

No it does not. 3/7 is below 1. And 7/3 is an improper fraction and can be simplified to 1 1/3.

List 7 cm, 18 mm, 1 m, 3 dm in increasing order of length

Answers

First let's convert all of these into centimeters using the correct conversions:

7cm=7cm

((18mm)/(1))* ((1cm)/(10mm))=1.8cm

((1m)/(1)) *((100cm)/(1m))=100cm

((3dm)/(1))* ((10cm)/(1dm))=30cm

Therefore we can rank them in order now:

18mm < 7 cm < 3 dm < 1 m

Answer:

p(x) = 7/5 x + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the function  = difference  in values / f(x) / difference in values of x

= (19-12) / (10 - 5) = 7/5

also:

(26-19) / ( 15 - 10) = 7/5

and (33-26) / (20-15) = 7/5.
