Ali"s dog weighs 8 times more than her cat. Together the animals weigh 54 lbs. How much does Ali's dog weigh?

48 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

say that the cat weighs x pounds. then the dog weighs 8x pounds. together they weigh 54 pounds. So our equation is x+8x=54. solve for x to get the cat's weight, and you get x=6. The cat weighs 6 lbs. all I need to do now is multiply 6 by 8 so this the dog weighs 8 times as much as the cat. 8•6=48. the dog weighs 48 pounds.

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
