One cat = x
One dog = y

2x + y = 350
x + 2y = 475

 2x +y = 350
-2x                -2x
____________
  y = 350-2x

x + 2y = 475
x + 2(350 - 2x) = 475
x + 700 - 4x = 475
   - 700          - 700
________________
(-3x = -225) ÷ -3
x = 75

2x + y = 350
2(75) + y = 350
 150 + y = 350
-150        -150
____________
y = 200

The cost of one cat is $75.
The cost of one dog is $200.
