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

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

V =41.41³

A = 94.41²

----

V =225.16³

SA =283.25²

----

V = 64³

SA =113.32²

----

V =433.33³

SA = 378.57²

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture 2 = a = 1/2 base = 3.5 x 3.5 = 12.25  b= 5 x 5 = 25

c²= a² + b² = 3.5² + 5²

c ²= √12.25 + √25

c ²= √ 37.5 = 6.12372435696

c ² = 6.1237   missing side

Picture 1 + 2  formula SA = bh + (s1 + s2 + s3)H

V =  V= 1/2 b x h  h x SA

Picture 3 + 4  formula SA= a²+ 2a   a² / 4 + h²    V= a²  h/3

Koran is spending $12 on games and rides at another carnival, where a game costs $0.25 and a ride costs $1.
Vlad [161]

Answer:

0.25x+y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ----> the number of rides

x ---> the number of games

we know that

The number of rides multiplied by  $1 plus the number of games multiplied by $0.25 must be equal to $12 (the dollar amount Koran is spending)

so

The equation that represent this situation is

0.25x+y=12
