Question 1
The table shows the age relationship between Jamie's cat and dog.

Which equation gives this relationship? Let c represent the cat's age and d represent the dog's age.
Responses
A c = d + 4c = d + 4
B d = c + 4d = c + 4
C c = d + 3c = d + 3
D d = c + 3d = c + 3
Question 2
What is the age of Jamie's dog be when her cat is 7 years old?
Responses
A 99
B 1010
C 1111
D 12

Answer 1

Question 1: The correct equation for the relationship between the cat's age (c) and the dog's age (d) is:

C) c = d + 3

Question 2: To find the age of Jamie's dog when her cat is 7 years old, plug in the value of c = 7 into the equation c = d + 3:

7 = d + 3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

d = 4

Therefore, the age of Jamie's dog when her cat is 7 years old is 4.

Answer: 4
