a zoo building a cat exhibit. some space will be used for lions and other for leopards. 8 large cats in all. expenses 8000 for per year and 6000 per year for leopard . write an equation that can be used to find y. the yearly expense for 8 cats when x of the cats are lions.
-----
# of lions:: x
# of leopards:: 8-x
----
Equation::
8000x + 6000(8-x) = 8000x + 48000 - 6000x = 2000x+48000
