So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.

Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

Since
- AB=4;
- A'B'=10;
- AC=6;
- A'C'=15,
then the scale factor of the dilation is

The answer is: " 60° " .

Note: All triangles, by definition, have 3 (three) sides and 3 (three angles).
The triangle shown (in the "image attached") has three EQUAL side lengths. Therefore, the triangle shown is an "equilateral triangle" and has 3 (three) equal angles, as well.
All triangles by, definition, have 3 (three) angles that add up to "180° " .
Since each of the 3 (three) angles is equal; and the three angles are:
"∠A" , "∠B" , and "∠C" ;
We can find the measure of "∠A" ; denoted as: "m∠A" ; as follows:
______________________________________________________
m∠A = 180° ÷ 3 = 60° .

The answer is: " 60° " .
______________________________________________________
m∠A = " 60° " .
