Answer:
5 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the rule of three.
In fact, we know that:
- 1 kilogram is equivalent to 2.2 pounds
- The ratio between the mass in kilograms and in pounds is constant for every value of the mass
- Therefore, the mass in kilograms corresponding to 11 pounds can be found by writing the following equation:
Where
x is the mass in kilograms corresponding to 11 pounds.
Solving the equation for x, we find:
y = 8 -2x
x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1
x + 16 - 4x = 1
x - 4x = -15
-3x = -15
x = 5
If x = 5, then we can substitute in...
5 + 2y = 1
2y = -4
y = -2
Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation
2x + y = 8
2 (5) + (-2) = 8
That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/
D. , this is a good way because this way you can easily multiply and then you'll see your answer right in front of you.

M<ABC = m<EBD = 36 (vertical angles)
78 - x + 36 + 3x - 10 = 180 (straight angle)
Now solve for x
78 - x + 36 + 3x - 10 = 180
2x + 68 = 180
- 68 -68 (subtract 68 on both sides)
2x = 58
x = 29
8/9 / 4/9
=(8/9)*(9/4) Multiply by second reciprocal
=(2/1)*(1/1) Cross reduce
=2 Multiply
