Answer:

The weight of the baby is 25 lbs.

The weight of the dog is 10 lbs

Total weight = 170 lbs

Your weight = 135 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight is 170 lbs which is shown in the picture.

Suppose the weight of the baby is x lbs . The weight of the dog is 60 % less than x

so x -  0.6 x lbs = 0.4 x is the weight of the dog

And suppose your weight is y lbs.

x+ 0.4x  + y= 170

1.4x+ y= 170

y = 170-1.4x ------1

The sum of your weight , the baby and dog is 100 lbs more than the two combined.

y- 100 = 1.4x

 x +0.4x + 100= y

1.4x+100= y----2

Putting 1 in 2

1.4x+100=170-1.4x

1.4x+ 1.4x = 170- 100

2.8x= 70

x= 25lbs

The weight of the baby is 25 lbs.

The weight of the dog is 4.4x= 0.4 (25)= 10 lbs

Total weight = 170 lbs

Your weight = total weight less baby's weight less dog's weight

                    = 170- 25- 10= 135 lbs

          The input  have to be -9 to get output 214 with the rule y=-15x+79

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the input, y is the output so:

214 = -15x + 79

15x = -135

1. The difference of two numbers is 3, and the sum of three times the larger one and
vlada-n [284]

Answer: 25 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one number is 3 bigger than the other, we can call them x, and x-3.

Then we know that the sum of 3 times x and 2 times (x-3) is equal to 19, so we can make the equation

3x+2(x-3)=19

Simplifying would get you

3x+2x-6=19

adding the x's and adding six to both sides of the equations gets you

5x = 25

divide by 5 and

x=5

Put those numbers back into your previous labels for them, x and x-3, and you get 5 and 2

Hope this helps

Find the volume of a cone with a height of 7yd and a base diameter of 6yd . use the value 3.14 for π , and do not do any roundin
____ [38]
I think the volume of the cone is 65.94yd because the radius is 3 and the height is 7 also 3 to the second power equals 9 then 3.14 multiplied by 9 equals 28.26 and finally 28.26 multiplied by 7/3 equals 65.94

V=3.14 x r^2 h/3
V=3.14 x 3^2 7/3
