a family adopted a total of 13 cats and dogs from the local animal shelter. the number of cats they have is 2 less than twice the number of dogs. how many cats and dogs do they have?
They have 13 cats and dogs. (It was given to us at the start!) ok just kidding :) If we take 2D (d stands for doges) and subtract two, we can find that D must be equal to 15/2 but we subtract two, it’s 13. 7.5 * 2 - 2 = 13
