A zoo has a total of 8 lions and tigers. The number of tigers is one less than twice the number of lions. Write a system of equations that represents the number of lions and tigers.

a

step-by-step explanation:

strong negative correlation

part a: 1.08

part b: 27.59

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
