Luke started a weight-loss program.

The first week, he lost X pounds.

the second week he lost 3/2 pounds less then 3/2 times the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/2 x - 3/2

The third week, he lost 1 more pound than 3/4 of the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/4 x + 1

So, over 3 weeks he lost :

x + (3/2 x - 3/2) + (3/4 x + 1) = 13/4 x - 1/2

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

Liam started the program when Luke did.

The first week, he lost 1 pound less than 3/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost (3/2 x - 1)

The second week, he lost 4 pounds less than 5/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so ,he lost (5/2 x - 4)

The third week, he lost 1/2 more than 5/4 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost, ( 5/4 x + 1/2)

The expression for Liam's weight loss over the three weeks is =

= (3/2 x - 1) + (5/2 x - 4) + ( 5/4 x + 1/2) = 21/4 x - 9/2

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

Assuming they both lost the same number of pounds over the three weeks

So, equating the number of pounds lost by each one of them

so,

13/4 x - 1/2 = 21/4 x - 9/2

solve for x

13/4 x - 21/4 x = -9/2 + 1/2

-2x = -4

divide both sides by -2

so,

x = -4/-2 = 2

so,

The number of pounds luke lost in the fist week is 2 pounds

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

4. The number of pounds luke and liam each lost over the three weeks is

= 13/4 * 2 - 1/2 = 6 pounds

16 ÷ 22 + (6 x 2) - 8
stepladder [879]
I did the PEMDAS method (P= parentheses, E= exponents, M= multiplication, D = Division, A= addition, S = subtraction.)

First I did what’s inside the parentheses, (6x2) and got 12.

Then I divided 16 by 22 and received 0.72.

I added 0.72 with 12 and the result was 12.72.

Last step was to subtract 12.72 - 8 and that equals 4.72

IM STRUGGLING HELP <br> What is the equation of the line in the form y=Mx+b
Andrej [43]

y=3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

point 1 (2;12)

point 2 (4;18)

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m =  \frac{18 - 12}{4 - 2}

m =  \frac{6}{2}

m=3

y=mx+b

sub in a point and gradient

12=3(2)+b

12=6+b

b=6

y=3x+6
