<span>The ratio of an object's weight on Earth to its weight on Neptune is 5 : 7
So,
We can use proportions to find out the weight of a person on Neptune.
Lets start:
E refers to Earth
N refers to Neptune

Therefore,
E:N = 5:7
Converting them into fractions:
E/N = 5/7
Substituting the value of weight on earth.
150/N = 5/7
Solving for N.
5 N = 150 x 7
5 N = 1050
N = 1050/5
N = 210 pounds.

Hence,the right answer is option : 
</span><span>C) 210 pounds.</span>

5/7 = 150/x
5x = 1050
x = 1050/5
x = 210 lbs <===

What is the solution to the system of equations?
Lemur [1.5K]
I would plug in each of the solutions to every equation and see which one works. This is probably easier than solving for x, y, and z. But let me know if you would like me to run through the steps!

First choice: using the first equation, -3(-3)-4(4)+6=-19 not -1 as listed. False.

Second choice: using the first equation, -3(4)-4(-3)+(-1)=-1 ; using the second equation, 2(4)+(-3)-(-1)=6 not -8 as listed. False.

Third choice: using the first equation, -3(-3)-4(4)+8=-17 not -1 as listed. False.

Fourth choice: using the first equation, -3(3)-4(-4)+-(-6)=-1 ; using the second equation,
2(3)+(-4)-(-6)=8 ; using the third equation, 3+8(-4)-(-6)=23

So the answer should be the fourth choice. Hope this helps! :)

Write an equation of the parallel to 5x-6y=10 through the point (-6,-1) show all work
ioda

5x-6y=10

-5x       -5x

-6y=-5x + 10

y-yV1=m(x-xV1)

y+1 = -5 (x+6)

destribute the -5 to the parinthease.

y+1 = -5x - 30

 -1            -   1

y= -5x -31

Could someone help with this maths answer please
Zielflug [23.3K]

Finding the area would be length x width, but to find the width we'd need to use Area / Length

The area = 44

The Length = 3 and 2/3

Solve

44 ÷ 2 and 2/3   =   12

12 is your answer

Question 6b
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

○ Length = 20 centimeters and Width = 5 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = L

Then the width is L - 15

A = lw

100 = L(L - 15)

L² - 15L - 100 = 0

(L - 20)(L + 5) = 0

L - 20 = 0  or  L + 5 = 0

L = 20  or  L = -5

Since a length of a rectangle cannot be negative, we discard the solution L = -5 and keep the solution L = 20.

L = 20

width = L - 15 = 20 - 15 = 5

Answer:  ○ Length = 20 centimeters and Width = 5 centimeters
