a dog weighs two pounds less than three times the weight of a cat. The dog also weighs twenty-two more pounds than the cat. write and solve an equation to find the weights of the dog and the cat.

Weight of dog: 34 pounds,

Weight of cat: 12 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent weight of dog and c represent weight of cat.

We have been given that a dog weighs two pounds less than three times the weight of a cat.

3 times weight of cat: 3c

We can represent the given information in an equation as: d=3c -2...1

We are also told that the dog also weights twenty-two more pounds than the cat. We can represent the given information in an equation as:

d=c+22...(2)

3c-2=c+22--->c=12

Therefore subsitute c=12 in equation 2

d=+22

d=12+22

d=34

Therefore, the weight of dog is 34 pounds.
