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

The average value of y=v(x) equals 4 for 1≤x≤6, and equals 5 for 6≤x≤8. what is the average value of v(x) for 1≤x≤8 ?
Tomtit [17]
The average value over the interval is the area under the curve divided by the width of the interval.

Area = 4*(6 -1) +5(8 -6) = 30
Width = 8 - 1 = 7

Average value = 30/7 = 4 2/7

Which function is the inverse of f(x)= 3x+5 over 7
Pani-rosa [81]

f(x) = (3x+5)/7

Step 1:

we write f(x) as y

y=(3x+5)/7

Step 2:

switch y by x and x by y

x=(3y+5)/7

Step 3:

solve for y,

x=(3y+5)/7

multiply both sides by 7

7x=3y+5

subtract 5 from left side

3y=7x-5

divide both sides by 3

y= (7x-5)/3

f⁻¹ (x) =(7x-5)/3
