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

You start at point A and walk 4 miles north, then 7 miles east, then 1 mile north, then 5 miles east to get to point B. How far
devlian [24]

Answer:

13 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

These distances form a right angled triangle with legs 4+1 = 5 and  (7+5) = 12 miles and the distance between A and B is the hypotenuse.

So the distance AB^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 169

AB = sqrt 169 = 13 miles.

We can see if the first two options are correct. The first one is eliminated because when x is 2, y is 5 and there is not a different of 5, only 3. This could make you think that the second option is the right answer, but when x is 1, y is 6 and the difference is 5, not 3. 
The third choice we could try out.
6=-(1)+7
5=-(2)+7
4=-(3)+7
3=-(4)+7
Let's look at the graph also. The coordinates are on the line.
So the third option, y=-x+7
