Answer:

7 months

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation which gives us J's weight after any particular month is

W(m) = 180 lb - (5 lb/mo)t

Her goal weight is 145 lb.

Therefore, write:

W(m) = 145 lb = 180 lb - (5 lb/mo)t.

We must solve this equation. To do so, subtract 180 lb from both sides of the equation:

145 lb - 180 lb = - (5 lb/mo)t

-35 lb = - (5 lb/mo)t

t = 35 lb / (5lb/mo) = 7 mo

J. must diet for 7 months to get her weight down to 145 lb from 180 lb.

This morning, some dragons, horses, and chickens were playing in my backyard. I counted 15 heads, 50 legs, and 4 wings. How many

klasskru [66]

We are given

number of heads =15

we know that

any healthy dragon has three heads

horse has 1 head

chicken has 1 head

Let's assume

number of dragons is x

number of horses is y

number of chickens is z

so, we will get

first equation:

$3x+y+z=15$

number of legs =50

any healthy dragon has four legs

chicken has 2 legs

horse has four legs

so, we can get second equation as

$4x+4y+2z=50$

we can simplify it

$2(2x+2y+z)=50$

$2x+2y+z=25$

now, we can find third equation

dragon has two wings

horse has no wings

chicken has two wings

so, we will get third equations as

$2x+0y+2z=4$

now, we can simplify it

$2x+2z=4$

$2(x+z)=4$

$x+z=2$

so, we will get system of equations as

$3x+y+z=15$

$2x+2y+z=25$

$x+z=2$

now, we can use substitution

We can find for z from third equation

$z=2-x$

we can plug this in first equation

$3x+y+2-x=15$

now, we can solve for y

$2x+y+2=15$

$y=13-2x$

now, we can plug this z and y into second equation

$2x+2(13-2x)+2-x=25$

now, we can solve for x

$x-4x+26=23$

$-3x=-3$

$x=1$

now, we can find y and z

$y=13-2x$

we can plug x=1

$y=13-2*1$

$y=11$

$z=2-x$

we can plug x=1

$z=2-1$

$z=1$

Hence ,

number of dragons is 1

number of horses is 11

number of chicken is 1............Answer

What expression is equivalent to 3(x+4)^2

eimsori [14]

Hello there,

Well we are given with 3(x + 4)² and we need to simplify this expression...

write out the expression: 3(x + 4)(x + 4)
then we distribute the parentese: 3(x² +4x +4x +16)
combine like terms: 3(x² + 8x + 16)
distribute the 3 in the parentese: 3x² + 24x + 48

So another way to express this would be 3x² + 24x + 48.

Hope I helped,

Amna

Which of following statements are true? 1. -18>5 2. -5> 0.5 3. -5>. 0 4. -5 > 5squared 5. -5> -18

NemiM [27]

A negative number is always less than a positive number.

When comparing two negative numbers, the smaller negative number is the greater value.

The answer would be 5. -5 > -18

What is the derivative of sqrt7 times x +sqrt2x

castortr0y [4]

I guess you mean the derivative of:

√7x + √2x, if so then:

Remember that the derivative of √u = 1/(2√u) . u'

if 7x = u, then u' = 7 , hence the derivative of √7x is 7/(2√7x)
Use same logic for √2x and you will find:

y' = 7/(2√7x) + x/√2x
