months

Answer:

5 lb 11⅓ oz

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the weight at birth from pound and ounces to just ounces.

8 lb × 16 oz/lb + 9 oz = 137 oz

The baby doubles its weight in the first six months.  That means its weight increases by 137 oz over 6 months.  To find how much weight was gained in 4 months, write a proportion.

137 / 6 = x / 4

6x = 548

x = 91 ⅓

The baby gained 91 ⅓ oz in 4 months, or 5 lb 11⅓ oz.

What is the solution to this system of linear equations? x − 3y = −2 x + 3y = 16
Oksana_A [137]
To solve for the solution of this system of linear equation, it is best to use substitution. From the first equation, x = 3y

Substituting the expression on the right for the value of x on the second equation, 
 
                                    -2(3y) + 3y = 16

Solving for the value of y gives y = -5 1/3

With this value of y, solving for x gives x = -16

Thus, the solution for this system of linear equation is (-16, -5 1/3)
