Question 926241: You attend a dog show at the Cow Palace. At the show, you counted 1310 legs in total. If the number of dogs at the show was 140 less than twice the number of people, than how many dogs were at the dog show? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of dogs
y = number of people
---
4x + 2y = 1310
x = 2y - 140
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
4x + 2y = 1310
x - 2y = -140
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
