Callie has a new kitten. The kitten weighs 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie’s cat. Together, the cat and the kitten weigh 18 pounds. Which system of equations could be used to find the weight of each animal? Let K = Kitten and C = Callie the Cat

A) K= 1/2C-3
K+C=18

B) K= 1/2C+3
K-C=18

C) K= 1/2C+3
K= -C+18

D) K= 1/2C-3
C - K=18

option a, c,d are correct.

step-by-step explanation:

from the given figure, it is given that z is equidistant from the sides of the triangle rst, then from triangle tzb and triangle szb, we have

tz=sz(given)

bz=zb(common)

therefore, by rhs rule,δtzb ≅δszb

by cpctc, sz≅tz

also, from δctz and δasz,

tz=sz(given)

∠tcz=∠saz(90°)

by rhs rule, δctz ≅ δasz, therefore by cpctc, ∠ctz≅∠asz

also,from δasz and δzsb,

zs=sz(common)

∠zbs=∠saz=90°

by rhs rule, δasz ≅δzsb, therefore, by cpctc, ∠asz≅∠zsb

hence, option a, c,d are correct.

47 - 90 = 43

43 - 180 = x

x = 137
