An animal shelter has a combination of cats and dogs. The number of dogs is two less than twice the number of cats. There are a total of 25 animals currently in the shelter. Which system of equations represents x, the number of cats and y, the number of dogs in the shelter?

2 is the final ! : )

option 1

data plot with   3 dots over 33, 1 dot over 34, 2 dots over 35, no dot over 36, 1 dot over 37, 2 dots over 38, 4 dots over 39, and 2 dot over 40.

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)
