11% = 16.5
1% = 16.5 / 11
= 1.5
100% = 1.5 * 100
= 150. His weight two years ago was 150 pounds.

X + (x * .11) = x + 16.5
2x * .11 = x + 16.5
Subtract x from both sides.
x * .11 = 16.5
Divide by .11 on both sides.
x = 150

Ray weighed 150 pounds two years ago.

The point A(-3, -2) is translated using T: (x,y) → (x + 5, y - 3). What is the distance from A to A'?
Degger [83]

Answer:

d=5.39 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A (-3, -2)  

T= (x+5, y-3)

T= (-3+5, -2-3)

T=(2,-5)

Applying the translation on;

A( -3,-2)

A' (-3+2, -2+ -5)

A'= (-1, -7)

Distance

d= \sqrt { X2-X1)^2 + (Y2-Y1)^2

A = (-3,-2)     and  A'(-1, -7)

d=√ (-1--3)² + (-7--2)²

d=√ (2)²+(-5)²

d=√4+25

d=√29

d=5.39 units

Mary read 2/5 of a book in 15 minutes. How much of the book can she read per hour? book per hour.​
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:½((n/2) – ½) – ½ = 10

½(n/2) – ¼ - ½ = 10 (using the distributive property)

¼n – ¼ - ½ = 10 (multiplying to eliminate the parentheses)

¼n – ¾ = 10 (combining like terms)

¼n = 10¾ (adding ¾ to both sides of the equation)

n = 43 (dividing both sides of the equation by ¼)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s start by writing Josie’s first step as an expression. Dividing n by 2, then subtracting ½ from

the result would be (n/2) – ½. If we build on this expression with the information in Josie’s

second step, we get ½((n/2) – ½) – ½. Knowing the final result is 10, we can set up the equation

below, and solve for n as follows: hope this helps

There are 14 girls and 2 boys taking karate lessons. Write the ratio that compares the number of girls taking karate lessons to
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is 7 : 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 14 girls and 2 boys taking karate lessons.

Total number of students taking the karate class is 16.

The ratio that compares the number of girls taking karate lessons to the total number of students taking karate lessons is given by 14 : 16 = 7 : 8.

This can be interpreted as for every 8 students in the karate lesson, 7 of them are girls.
