Answer:

Around 217 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the height into inches.

5 feet 8 = $5\cdot12 + 8 = 60 + 8 = 68$

6 feet $= 6\cdot12 = 72$ .

We can set up a proportion

$\frac{205}{68} = \frac{x}{72}$

We can use the cross products property to find x.

$205\cdot72=14760\\\\\\14760\div68\approx217$

Hope this helped!

Answer:

217.0588235 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert ft inches to inches

5 ft = 5*12 = 60 inches

5 ft 8 inches = 68 inches

6 ft = 6*12 = 72 inches

We can use ratios to solve

205 lbs x lbs

------------- = ----------------

68 inches 72 inches

Using cross products

205 * 72 = 68x

Divide by 68

205 *72/68 = x

217.0588235 lbs

1. What is the value of the y variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

ollegr [7]

Part 1)

we have

$3x-6y=3$ ------> equation A

$7x-5y=-11$ ------> equation B

Multiply by $-7$ the equation A

$-7(3x-6y)=-7*3$

$-21x+42y=-21$ ------> equation C

Multiply by $3$ the equation B

$3*(7x-5y)=-11*3$

$21x-15y=-33$ -------> equation D

Adds equation C and equation D

$-21x+42y=-21 \\21x-15y=-33\\---------- \\ 42y-15y=-21-33\\27y=-54 \\ y=-2$

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1) is the option A </u>

$y=-2$

Part 2)

we have

$3x+y=6$

$y=-3x+6$ ------> equation A

$6x+2y=8$

Simplify Divide by $2$ both sides

$3x+y=4$

$y=-3x+4$ ------> equation B

the lines A and B are parallel lines, because the slope m is equal

so

The system has no solution

therefore

<u>the answer Part 2) is the option D</u>

There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

Part 3)

we have

$4x+2y=6$ ------> equation A

$x-y=3$

$y=x-3$ ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$4x+2[x-3]=6$

$6x-6=6$

$6x=12$

$x=2$

therefore

<u>the answer part 3) is the option D</u>

$x=2$

Part 4)

Let

x---------> The number of one-step equations

y---------> The number of two-step equations

we know that

$x+y=1,120$

$x=1,120-y$ -------> equation A

$3x-2y=1,300$ ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$3[1,120-y]-2y=1,300$

$3,360-5y=1,300$

$5y=3,360-1,300$

$5y=2,060$

$y=412$

therefore

<u>the answer part 4) is the option D</u>

$y=412$

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x = $2\dfrac{3}{7}$

Explanation:

$\hookrightarrow 35.1 = 12.9 + 10.2x$

$\hookrightarrow 10.2x = 35.1 - 12.9$

$\hookrightarrow \dboxed{10.2x = 22.2}$

$\hookrightarrow x =\dfrac{22.2}{10.2}$ * 5

$\hookrightarrow x = \dfrac{111}{51}$

$\hookrightarrow x = \dfrac{37}{17}$

$\hookrightarrow x = 2\dfrac{3}{7}$
