Answer:john weighs 375 pounds.

Karen weighs 125 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the weight of John.

Let y represent the weight of Karen.

John weighs three times as much as Karen. This means that

x = 3y

Two times John's weight plus Karen's weight is 875 pounds. This means that

2x + y = 875 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 3y + y = 875

6y + y = 875

7y = 875

y = 875/7 = 125

Substituting y = 125 into x = 3y. It becomes

x = 3 × 125 = 375

Answer:

John- 375

Karen- 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 1...

j =3k

2j + k = 875

substituting the first eqn into the 2nd

2(3k) + k = 875

6k+ k =875

7k = 875

k =875/7 =125

thus j = 3(125) =375

e-lub [12.9K]
Answer 5.5

Explanation 125 + 125= 250
250 + 50=300

Is 2 125s and 1 50

Each 125 is 2.5

2.5+2.5=5
plus the other half = 5.5

A restaurant that makes deliveries plotted data points on a scatter plot showing the relationship between x, the number of miles
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Given:
y = 2x + 6
x - the number of miles between restaurant and point of delivery
y - the number of minutes between the time an order is place and the time it is delivered.

The correct conclusion is:
<span>C) It takes the restaurant about 6 minutes to prepare each order for delivery 


2x is the time it takes to deliver the order, every mile is traveled within 2 minutes.
6 is the number of minutes it takes to prepare the order before it will be set out for delivery.
