joe weighs 20lbs.less yhantwice jeffs weight.if jeff would gain 10lbs.,then together they wouldweigh 250lbs. how much does each

masya89 [10]

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.
$Jeff's\ weight = 86 \frac{2}{3} \ lbs.$

Substitute again.
$x = 2(86 \frac{2}{3} )-20$

Multiply.
$x = 173 \frac{1}{3} -20$

Subtract.
$Joe's\ weight = 153 \frac{1}{3}\ lbs.$

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.

$Joe's\ weight\ is\ 153 \frac{1}{3} \ lbs.$
$Jeff's\ weight\ is\ 86 \frac{2}{3} \ lbs.$

Your answer to this is:

$\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0}$

<h2>→ <u>EXPLANATION :-</u></h2>

<u />

<u /> $\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0} \: (1)$

$\sf{Apply \: rule:} \: (a) = a$

$\sf{(1) = 1$

$\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0} \: ^. \: 1$

$\sf{\frac{1}{1 \: + \:1} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\sf{\frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0} ^.^ \: 1 \: = \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0}$

$\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0}$

The sum of two numbers is 30. the first number is 1/5 of the second number. what are the numbers?

bonufazy [111]

Same question
x+y=30
x is 1/5 of y
x=y/5
subsitute
y/5+y=30
multily both sidse by 5
y+5y=150
add
6y=150
divide both sides by 6
y=25
subsitute
x=y/5
x=25/5
x=5
the numbers are 5 and 25

What is 2 * -5/2 hghghghghghgh

Softa [21]

-5/2 is equivalent to -2.5, and if you multiply 2.5 by 2 you get 5, and you have to have the negative, so add that to the 5 and you get -5. Hope this helps!
