We are given statement " gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds".
<em>Note: We take plus or positive sign for gain word and we take minus or negative sign for the loses word.</em>
Gained 20 means +20.
Loses 15 mean -15.
Therefore, we can setup an expression as:
<h3>+20 -15.</h3>
20 is a positive number and 15 is a negative number.
Because we have opposite signs of numbers, we would subtract them.
20-15 = 5 pounds.
Answer:
77 C
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean add all the numbers together then divide by the total amount of numbers
Answer:
r = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that c varies directly as (r + 1) then the equation relating them is
c = k(r + 1) ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition c = 8 when r = 3, then
8 = k(3 + 1) = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )
2 = k
c = 2(r + 1) ← equation of variation
When c = 20, then
20 = 2(r + 1) ← divide both sides by 2
10 = r + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
9 = r
8,-2. place the x as 8 and y as -2.
