<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the weight of Bill be "x"
Let the weight of mark be "y"
Given that,
Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170 pounds
Therefore,
x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1
Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's weight
y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
x + 2x - 40 = 170
3x = 170 + 40
3x = 210
x = 70
<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(70) - 40
y = 140 - 40
y = 100
Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds
Part A :
D = (1/4) * C D = 1/4 * 24 D = 24/4 = 6 ft above sea level
Part B :
Your answer is positive because D is still above sea level...if it would have been below sea level, then it would have been negative
Answer:
x =-4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x − 7 = −19
Add 7 to each side
3x − 7+7 = −19+7
3x = -12
Divide by 3
3x/3 = -12/3
x =-4
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute 6 to all terms within the parenthesis.
6(2x + 3) = 12x + 18
Isolate the variable x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
12x + 18 = 42
First, subtract 18 from both sides.
12x + 18 (-18) = 42 (-18)
12x = 24
Isolate the variable x. Divide 12 from both sides.
(12x)/12 = (24)/12
x = 24/12
x = 2
2 is your answer for x.
