Isabelle Woods · Answer 1

The system of equation can be used for determine the number of small and the large dogs groomed are

x + y = 22

43x + 75y = 1234

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of small dogs groomed be x.

Let us assume that the number of lagre dogs groomed be y.

As given

Paws at play made a total of $1,234 grooming 22 dogs.

Than the equation becomes

x + y = 22

Paws at play charges $43 to groom each small dog and $75 for each large dog.

Than the equation becomes

43x + 75y = 1234

Therefore the system of equation can be used for determine the number of small and the large dogs groomed are

x + y = 22

43x + 75y = 1234
