Expenses for a lion will be about $8000 per year, and expenses for a leopard will be about $6000 per year. Write an equation that can be used to find y, the yearly expenses for the eight cats in the exhibit when z of the cats are loins

    Total cats: 8

    Total expense: y

    Expense per lion:$8,000

    Total lions: z

    Expense per leopard: $6,000

    Total leopards: 8 - z

    Therefore, the equation becomes:

    total expense = number of lions * expense per lion + number of leopards * expense per leopard

    y = 8000z + 6000 (8 - z)

    y = 2000z + 48000
