<h2>Answer:</h2>

The weight of Anna is: 115 pounds

and the weight of Janet is: 135 pounds.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Janet weighs 20 pounds more than Anna.

This means if the weight of Anna is: x pounds

Then the age of Janet is: (x+20) pounds.

Also,

The sum of their weights is 250 pounds.

i.e.

x+x+20=250

i.e.

2x+20=250

On subtracting both side by 20 we have:

2x=250-20

i.e.

2x=230

On dividing both side by 2 we have:

x=115

Hence, the weight of Anna is:115 pounds.

and the weight of Janet is: 115+20=135 pounds.

Janet = J
Anna = A

J = A + 20
J + A = 250

Considering that Janet and Anna are relatively close to eachother in weight, let's divide the sum by 2 to give us a general idea of where their weight lies.

250 / 2 = 125

Janet's and Anna's weights are around 125.
Let's try 140 for Janet and 120 for Anna

140 = 120 + 20 (J = A + 20), this works!
140 + 120 = 260 (J + A = 250), this unfortunately doesn't work.

Let's try 135 for Janet and 115 for Anna.

135 = 115 + 20 (J = A + 20), this works!
135 + 115 (J + A = 250), this also works!

Janet weighs 135 pounds, and Anna weighs 115 pounds.

I hope this helps!

Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28

Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad

Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :

(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28

4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2

Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1

5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24

x = 4

Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)

x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6

We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2

x=4 and y=2

So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!

I hope you understood my brief explanation!!

Factor completely and then place the factors in the proper location on the grid.
Alika [10]
1. 8c^2-26c+15= (4c-3) (2c-5). Break the expression into groups: =(8c^2-6c)+(-20c+15). Factor out 8c^2-6c: 2c(4c-3). Factor out -5 from -20c+ 15: -5(4c-3). Lastly factor out common term (4c-3) and thats how you'll get your answer (4c-3) (2c-5).

2. common factors for 270 and 360 is 90.To find this write the factors of each and find the largest one.270: 1, 270, 2, 135, 3, 90, 5, 54, 6, 45, 9, 30, 10, 27, 15, 18360: 1, 360, 2, 180, 3, 120, 4, 90, 5, 72, 6, 60, 8, 45, 9, 40, 10, 36, 12, 30, 15, 24, 18, 20
3. The factors for 8 a3b2 and 12 ab4 is 4. because 8: 1, 2, 4, 812: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

4. 81a^2+36a+4= (9a+2)^2. Break down the expression into groups: (81a^2+18a)+(18a+4). Factor out 9a from 81a^2 +18a: 9a(9a+2). Factor out 2 from 18a+4: 2(9a+2). so the groups you got are now 9a(9a+2)+2(9a+2). Lastley factor out common term (9a+2) to get (9a+2) (9a+2). Finally you get the answer (9a+2)^2.

5. mn-15+3m-5n= (n+3)(m-5). factor out m from nm+3m: m(n+3). Factor out -5 from -5n-15: -5(n+3). And thats how you get the number (n+3)(m-5)

Hope this helped :) Have a great day

Help Please. Can't seem to understand how to do this. I have tried and watch over 5 videos. Can't seem to get it.​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The solutions are the following:

  • z=2(cos(π6)+isin(π6))=√3+12i

  • z=2(cos(2π3)+isin(2π3))=−1+i√3

  • z=2(cos(7π6)+isin(7π6))=−√3−12i

  • z=2(cos(5π3)+isin(5π3))=1−i√3
