Answer:

11 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

I started with 16 cats and 17 dogs, so:

(16x$2.5) + (17x$4.5) = $116.5

The value is too low which means that they spent more money on the expensive side (i.e., dogs).

I ended up with 11 cats and 22 dogs, so:

(11x$2.5) + (22x$4.5) = $126.5

Factor then solve. 1.81 - 4x²=0 2. 4s² + 9 = 12s

$1.\\81-4x^2=0\\\\9^2-(2x)^2=0\\\\(9-2x)(9+2x)=0\iff9-2x=0\ \vee\ 9+2x=0\\\\-2x=-9\ \vee\ 2x=-9\\\\x=4.5\ \vee\ x=-4.5$

=============================================================

$2.\\4s^2+9=12s\\\\4s^2-12s+9=0\\\\(2s)^2-2\cdot2s\cdot3+3^2=0\\\\(2s-3)^2=0\\\\(2s-3)(2s-3)=0\iff2s-3=0\\\\2s=3\\\\s=1.5$
