Please help with a math problem :/ Please show steps...<br><br> x^2 -13x = -36

Marianna [84]

X^2 - 13 x = -36
add 36 to both sides

x^2 - 13x +36 = 0
figure out the factor
(x-4)(x-9) = 0
so (x-4) or (x-9) equals 0
so solution is
x-4=0 add 4 to both sides and get x = 4
x-9=0 add 9 to both sides and get x=9
x={ 4, 9}

Priya's cat weighs 5 1/2 pounds and her dog weighs 8 1/4 pounds.

Lilit [14]

Answer: The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of Priya's cat = $5\frac{1}{2}\ pounds$

Now, $5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\ pounds$

The weight of her dog = $8\frac{1}{4}\ pounds$

$8\frac{1}{4}=\frac{33}{4}\ pounds$

Let cat is n times heavy as dog.

Then $n=\text{cat's weight}\div\text{dog's weight}$

$n=\frac{{11}{2}\div\frac{33}{4}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{11}{2}\times\frac{4}{33}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.
