    5x = 40 (if x represents the cat's weight, and 4x represents the dog's)

    40/5 = 8

    so the cat weighs eight pounds.

    8 x 4 = 32

    the dog weights thirty two pounds.

    since 32 + 8 = 40, it's correct!

    32lbs. You take 4 and multiply it by 8 which gives you 32, the dog weighs 32lbs, then you have 8 left over, the cat weighs 8lbs.
