A pet store sells only dogs and cats. The ratio of dogs to cats at the pet store was 6:5. If there are 154 pets at the pet store, how many of them are dogs?

Step-by-step explanation:

assume the number of dogs and cats to be 6x and 5x

dogs + cats = 11x

we are given that 11x= 154

hence x=11

dogs = 6x = 6×11 = 66

I think So, 14*6=84 is the answer.

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

i am sorry

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
