Net weight:

11 pounds 5 ounces - 1 pound 15 ounces.

10 pounds + (1 pound 5 ounces) - 1 pound 15 ounces.

Note 1 pound = 16 ounces

10 pounds +<span> (16 ounces + 5 ounces) - 1 pound 15 ounces.
</span>
10 pounds +<span> (21 ounces) - 1 pound 15 ounces.</span>

10 pounds - 1 pound = 9 pounds         21 ounces - 15 ounces  = 6 ounces

9 pounds 6 ounces.

Net weight =  9 pounds 6 ounces.

Janine and her older sister Ingrid's ages are consecutive even numbers. When Janine's age is divided by seven, and Ingrid's age
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be x and x + 2 for Janine and her sister, respectively.

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiply both sides by the LCD, 21, to get rid of denominators.

21 * x/7 + 21 * (x + 2)/2 = 21 * 14

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

3x + 7x + 14 = 294

10x = 280

x = 28

x + 2 = 30

Answer: Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

we then have 45x= 5y

y= 7x

x=y

10=70

10x = 70y

y= 7x = y=5x+ 20, y = 20x+5
