Nick and Adam work together. Nick weighs 160 pounds and is gaining about 3 pounds per week. Adam weighs 195 pounds and is losing

about 2 pounds each week. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of weeks that it will take them to weigh the same amount.

Answer:

160+3x=195-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

So if Nick is 160 lbs and Adam 195, and Nick is gaining 3 pounds per week and Adam is losing 2 pounds per week then you have to use a variable to find the unknown which is the number of weeks. So a gain is positive or addition and a loss is negative of subtraction. Then to solve it put the variables together and the numbers together. The opposite of -2x is 2x so 3x plus 2x and 195 plus the opposite of 160 which is -160 then solve for x.

Answer:

7 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, the equation set up would be

160+3x=195-2x

To solve combine all like terms

that leaves you with x=7

Checking your work

To check, plug in 7 to all of the x's in the equation

you end up with 181 lbs

What is the volume of the composite figure with the dimensions shown in the 3 views? (Round to the nearest tenth)
givi [52]

Answer:

278.9 units^3 to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a cylinder on the bottom . resting on the cylinder is a prism.

Volume of the cylinder = π r^2 h  where r = 1/2 * 7 = 3.5 and h = 6.

V = π * 3.5^2 * 6 = 230.907 units^3.

Volume of the prism = l*w*h

= 4*4*3 = 48 units^3.

Volume of the composite figure = 230.907 + 48

= 278.9.

Given: KLMN is a trapezoid m∠N = m∠KML ME ⊥ KN , ME = 3 5 , KE = 8, LM KN = 3 5 Find: KM, LM, KN, Area of KLMN
prisoha [69]
A) Find KM∠KEM is a right angle hence ΔKEM is a right angled triangle Using Pythogoras' theorem where the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the adjacent sides we can answer the 
KM² = KE² + ME²KM² = 8² + (3√5)²       = 64 + 9x5KM = √109KM = 10.44
b)Find LMThe ratio of LM:KN is 3:5 hence if we take the length of one unit as xlength of LM is 3xand the length of KN is 5x ∠K and ∠N are equal making it a isosceles trapezoid. A line from L that cuts KN perpendicularly at D makes KE = DN
KN = LM + 2x 2x = KE + DN2x = 8+8x = 8LM = 3x = 3*8 = 24
c)Find KN Since ∠K and ∠N are equal, when we take the 2 triangles KEM and LDN, they both have the same height ME = LD.
∠K = ∠N  Hence KE = DN the distance ED = LMhence KN = KE + ED + DN since ED = LM = 24and KE + DN = 16KN = 16 + 24 = 40
d)Find area KLMNArea of trapezium can be calculated using the  formula below Area = 1/2 x perpendicular height between parallel lines x (sum of the parallel sides)substituting values into the general equationArea = 1/2 * ME * (KN+ LM)          = 1/2 * 3√5 * (40 + 24)         = 1/2 * 3√5 * 64         = 3 x 2.23 * 32         = 214.66 units²
