Answer 2

Answer: There are 19 cats and 38 dogs.

Explanation:

Given, A veterinarian clinic, there are twice as many dogs as there cats.

Let x = Number of cats

then, number of dogs = 2x

Since , total number of dogs and cats = 57

So, x+ 2x= 57

`\Rightarrow\ 3x= 57`

Divide both sides by 3 , we get

`x=(57)/(3)=19`

`\Rightarrow\ x= 19`

Number of cats =19

then, number of dogs = 2(19) = 38

hence, there are 19 cats and 38 dogs.
