To find this out we can set the expressions equal to each other:

\sf 2(x+3)=3(x+1)

Solve for 'x', first distribute:

\sf 2x+6=3x+3

Subtract 3 to both sides:

\sf 2x+3=3x

Subtract 2x to both sides:

\boxed{\sf x=3}

So the answer is yes, after 3 weeks the dogs will be the same weight(because 'x' represents # of weeks).

A projectile is fired straight up from ground level with an initial velocity of 112 ft/s. Its height, h, above the ground after
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this the easy way and just set up an inequality and let the factoring do the work for us. The inequality will look like this:

-16t^2+112t>192 We will move the constant over and get

-16t^2+112t-192>0 and when you factor this you get that

3 < t < 4

Between 3 and 4 seconds is where the projectile reaches a height higher than 192 feet. With a little more work and some calculus you can find the max height to be 196 feet.

Which of the following points lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities? y ≤ x − 5 y ≥ −x − 4
Strike441 [17]
Y ≤ x - 5
y ≥-x - 4

   x - 5 = -x - 4
+ x       + x
 2x - 5 = -4
     + 5  + 5
       2x = 1
        2     2
         x = ¹/₂
         y = x - 5
         y = ¹/₂ - 5
         y = -4¹/₂

The following points that lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities is (¹/₂, -4¹/₂).

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

A. {–8, –2, 18}

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x − 2

x = −1.2 ----> y = 5(−1.2) − 2 = −6 − 2 = −8

x = 0 -----> y = 5(0) − 2 = 0 − 2 = −2

x = 4 -----> y = 5(4) − 2 = 20 − 2 = 18

Five less than twice the square of a negative number is -9 times the number. Find the number.​
Rashid [163]
Since the first part says the value is five less then twice the square of a negative number we get the first equation as 2(-x)²-5. Then we have that -9x is equal to that previous equation. Therefore our new equation is 2(-x)²-5=-9x. We can move the nine over by adding it to both side to get 2(-x)²+9x-5=0. Then you can use any method of factoring (I prefer quadratic formula) to get your values for x. By doing so, you’ll get x=28 and x=-32.5. Since the problem said the number was negative in the first part, you know you can’t have the 28 as the answer so the right answer is -32.5.

Lorico [155]
1144 Liters of oil.
For every 5 there is 8 used. So 440/5 = 88.  88 units times 8 is 704.  704 synthetic plus 440 natural is 1144 liters of oil total.
