If the shelter has 5 times as many cars as dogs if the shelter has a total of the 18 Dogs and cats how many dogs does the shelter have

No. of dogs = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cats be x and the number of dogs be y. The shelter has 5 times as many cats as dogs.

It means, y = 5x ...(1)

Total no of cats and dogs are 18. So,

x+y = 18 ...(1)

Put equation (1) in (2),

x+5x = 18

6x=18

x = 3

No. of cats = 3

Put the value of x in equation (1).

y = 5(3)

y = 15

Hence, there are 15 dogs in the shelter.

answer: c. positive form.

step-by-step explanation:

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
