Yes the equation can be solved by factoring. Using the given equation take the square root of both sides. Both 169 and 9 are perfect squares so the left side becomes plus or minus 13/3 which is rational. Six plus 13/3 is also a rational number. If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational then the equation is factorable. Please mark a good rating and brainlest

Both169 and 9 are perfect squares.

The square root of 169/9 is rational.

Six plus 13/3 is a rational number, and 6 minus 13/3 is also a rational number.  

If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational, then the equation is factorable.

Hailey paid $13 for 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami. What was the cost per kilogram of salami?
inna [77]
First lets get the total weight that Hailey bought, that is working with fractions:
1 3/7 = 7/7 + 3/7
= 10/7 = 1.43
so we use a rule of three to solve this:
1.43 kg ------> $13
  1 kg  --------> x
x = (1)(13)/(1.43)
x = 9.09
therefore a 1kg of sliced salami costs $9.09
