Answer:
120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use systems of equations to solve this problem. Assuming j is Jim's weight and b is Bob's weight, the equations are:
j + b = 180
b - j = 1/2b
Let's get b - j = 1/2b into standard form (b, then j, then the equal sign, then the constant.)
Now we can solve using the process of elimination.
Now we know how much Bob weighs, for fun, let's find Jim's weight by substituting into the equation.
So Bob weighs 120 pounds and Jim weight 60 pounds.
Hope this helped!

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
It is easiest to compare the equations when they are written in the same form.
The first set can be written in slope-intercept form.
y = 2x +7
y = 2x +7 . . . . add 2x
These equations are <em>identical</em>, so have infinitely many solutions.
__
The second set can be written in standard form.
y +4x = -5
y +4x = -10
These equations <em>differ only in their constant</em>, so have no solutions.
__
The third set is already written in slope-intercept form. The equations have <em>different slopes</em>, so have exactly one solution.
Answer:
x= -3
y= -2
From the first one, if you add 2y to both sides you can plug that into the second one and solve for y. Then, plug y to the first one and solve for x.
It’s gonna be B coefficient
