How did you figure if a dog and cat together weigh 45 pounds and the dog weighs 4 times as much as the cat How much does the dog weigh and cat weigh what formula?

Answer 1

The formula would be 4x+x=45. You would write out let statements. You would then solve the formula for "x." The number that you get for "x" is the cat's weight. Then you multiply "x" by 4 to get the dog's weight. To check your answer see if they add up to 45.
