You'll need to use parentheses here to convey this problem accurately to possible helpers.  Unsure of whether you mean (9/2)k -3 or  9 / (2k-3).

I will assume that you mean:

    9           4
------- = ---------
2k-3        k+1

Cross mult:  9k+9=8k-12, so k= -21.

If that's not what you expected, then try again to present the problem without ambiguities.

alis dog weighs 8 times as much as her cat. together, the two pets weigh 54 pynds. how much does Alis dog weigh?
VashaNatasha [74]

The weight of the Alis dog is \fbox{\bf48} pounds.

Further explanation:

Consider the weight of the Alis dog as x pounds and weight of the cat as y pounds.

Since, the weight of the Alis dog is 8 times the weight of the cat. It can be written as follows:

x=8y                                                                     ......(1)

Now, the total weight of the cat and dog are given as 54 pounds. It can be written as follows:

x+y=54                                                                 ......(2)

From equation (1), substitute 8y for x in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}8y+y&=54\\9y&=54\\y&=\dfrac{54}{9}\\y&=6\end{aligned}

Thus, the weight of the cat is 6 pounds.

Substitute 6 for y in equation (1) to obtain the weight of Alis dog as follows:

\begin{aligned}x&=8(6)\\&=48\end{aligned}

Thus, the weight of the Alis dog is 48 pounds.
