The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:
15 weeks
Explanation:
Let w be the number of weeks. Bill weighs 150 pounds and wants to gain 2 lbs per week; this gives us the expression 150+2w for Bill.
Jamal weighs 195 and wants to lose 1 pound per week; this gives us the expression 195-1w for Jamal.
To determine how many weeks it will take them to weigh the same, we set the two expressions equal:
150+2w=195-1w
Add 1w to each side:
150+2w+1w = 195-1w+1w
150+3w = 195
Subtract 150 from each side:
150+3w-150 = 195-150
3w = 45
Divide each side by 3:
3w/3 = 45/3
w = 15

Problem 11
<h3>Answer: h =
2A/b</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We need to get h by itself. To do so, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then we divide both sides by b
A = (1/2)*b*h
2A = b*h
b*h = 2A
h = 2A/b

Problem 12
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Equation: (n+2)/5 = 14
- Solution to that equation: n = 68
------------------
Explanation:
The number n is increased by 2 to get n+2
Then we divide by 5 to get (n+2)/5
This is set equal to 14 to get the equation (n+2)/5 = 14
Solving the equation would look like this
(n+2)/5 = 14
n+2 = 5*14 .... multiply both sides by 5
n+2 = 70
n = 70-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides
n = 68
================================================
Problem 13
<h3>Answer: Not a solution</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We'll replace every copy of x with -3 and simplify
-2x + 5 > 13
-2*(-3) + 5 > 13
6 + 5 > 13
11 > 13
The last inequality is false because 11 is not greater than 13. Since the last inequality is false, this makes the first inequality false when x = -3.
Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution.
Answer:
226.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The fence around the dog's house is a circle, with a radius of 12 meters.
To calculate the distance the dog runs, we need to find the circumference of that circle, which is given by the formula:
C = 2 π r, since we know r, the calculation is easy:
C = 2 π 12 = 24 π = 75.4 feet.
The dog makes three laps around the circle before calming down... so he runs 3 times 75.4 feet.
Dogs run = 3 x 75.4 ft = 226.2 feet
