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

Which statement correctly explains how kasi could find a solution to the following system of linear equations using elimination
jarptica [38.1K]

A. She can multiply the bottom equation by -4 and then add the equations to solve for h.

-4g - 15h = -17

4g - 20h = -52

Add them to get

-15h = -17

-20h = -52

From here, you can solve for h.

Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Make equation y= mx + b
3x + 4y = 24
4y = -3x + 24
y = -3/4x + 6
Now make slope perpendicular
Slope = 4/3
The answer would be B.

Michael lives in the northwest corner of Clark County. Clara
timama [110]

Answer:

About 0.41 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

THe distance between Michael and Clara is 44 km.

We know D = RT,

Where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

For Michael, we can write:

D = 47t

For Clara, we can write:

D = 61t

If we let michael's distance be x, Clara's distance would be 44 - x

So, we can say:

x = 47t

and

44 - x = 61t

Putting first equation into 2nd, we get:

44 - 47t = 61t

SOlving:

44 - 47t = 61t

44 = 61t + 47t

44 = 108t

t = 44/108 = 0.41 hours

The commute took 0.41 hours
