Answer:

21kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We will do this.

11x - 12 = 7x

11x - 4x = 7x

4x = 12

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

3 x 7 = 21

Laura weighs 21 kg.

we are given

$a^2+5a+6=0$

we can use factoring formula

$a^2-(m+n)a+mn=(a-m)(a-n)$

we can compare

and we get

$m+n=-5$

$mn=6$

now, we can solve for m and n

and we get

$m=-3 , n=-2$

now, we can use formula

and we get

$a^2+5a+6=(a+3)(a+2)$

now, we can set it equal to 0

$a^2+5a+6=(a+3)(a+2)=0$

$(a+3)=0$

$a=-3$

$a+2=0$

$a=-2$

so, we will get

$a=-2,a=-3$ .............Answer
