Plz ill give 15 a cat and dog shelter houses 23 animals that are 5 more cats than dogs y. write and solve a system of linear equations to find the number of cats and dogs in the shelter.

There would be 14 cats and 9 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of cats and dogs, we need to set up the system of equations. To do so, start by setting cats as x and dogs as y. Now we can write the first equation to show the total number of animals.

cats + dogs = 23

x + y = 23

Now we can write a second one that shows the difference in the number of cats and dogs.

cats - dogs = 5

x - y = 5

Now we can add the two equations together to solve for x.

x + y = 23

x - y = 5

2x = 28

x = 14

Now that we have the number of cats, we can find the number of dogs by using either equation.

x + y = 23

14 + y = 23

y = 9

14

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
