a cat and dog shelter houses 23 animals there are 5 more cats x than dogs y. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the numbers of cats and dogs in the shelter.

Sagot :

Round 23 to 24 and half it (12) since its rounded up minus 3 (minus 2 if rounded down) = 9

12 + 2 = 14

9 dogs
14 cats
23=y+x+5 The number of animals in the shelter = dogs + cats+ 5.
18=y+x
