<span>Step 1. Let x be the number and 1/x be its reciprocal.
Step 2. Then, since the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 25/12.
Step 3. Multiply 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the denominators.
Step 4. Subtract 25x to put the equation in quadratic form

Answer:
The soultion is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 13 pound bag is 1/2 of the 26 pound bag so if 40 dogs eat that then 20 dogs will eat 13 pounds.
Your answer should be 20 dogs
Given the stated equation we know that that quadratic formula has 2 as its degree. This meats it has 2 roots. A linear equation has a degree of 1. A linear equation has 1 root. To know if they intersect, the must have one root in common. To know this, solve the two equation simultaneously. If they result to an answer then they intersect.
The final equation is:

Further explanation:
The general form of equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

Here m is the slope
Given
m=1
(x,y) = (-7,-4)

To find the value of b, we have to put the point in the equation

The final equation is:
