Paula's dog is 36 lbs
Use the equation 48=3x+x
Add like terms: 48=4x
Divide: 12=x (x=Carla's dog's weight)
Then Multiply x by 3 to get Paula's dog's weight and you get 36 lbs
It depends on what did you mean by saying perfect square. If I've understood it correctly, I can help you with a part of your problem. The squares of mod <span>9</span><span> are </span><span><span>1</span><span>,4,7</span></span><span> which are came from </span><span><span>1,2,</span><span>4.</span></span><span> </span>Addition of the given numbers are 2,3,5,6, 8, which are exactly the part of your problem. This number, which is not shown as squares Mod 9, and thus doesn't appear as a sum of digits of a perfect square. I hope you will find it helpful.

Answer with explanation:</h2>
Let p be the proportion of the correct answers.
As per given , we have

, since the alternative hypothesis is right tailed , so the test is a one -tailed test.
If the student gets 52 answers correct out of 80.
i.e. the proportion of correct answers : 
Test statistic : 

P-value :
[ by using p-value table for z (right-tailed)]
Since the p-value(0.0037) is less than the significance level (0.05), so we reject the null hypothesis.
Results : We have enough evidence to support the claim that a student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing.
We can subsitute since
23x+4=y and
4-2x=y
therefor
23x+4=y=4-2x
so
23x+4=4-2x
minus 4 on both sides
23x=-2x
add 2x to both sides
25x=0
divide both sides by... uh oh
I guess x=0
sub
4-2(0)=y
4-0=y
4=y
the solution is (0,4)
