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

An angle passes through the point (-7,-5). What is the compass heading of this angle?
umka21 [38]
To find the angle use arc tan (-5/-7) which simplifies tips arctan(5/7). arc tan is tan to the power -1, which is also called inverse tan. The heading of the angle, if you drew this out on a graph your angle would be in the third quadrant and therefore the heading is south of west.

y = 2x squared + 5x -3 can be written in the form y= 2( x+a) squared + b . Find the value of a and the value of b.
Elan Coil [88]

General vertex form:

y = m(x − a)² + b  \: with  \: vertex \:  at \:  (a, b)

Given :

y = 2x² + 5x  - 3

Extract "spread factor" m

y = 2( x² +  \frac{5}{2} x) - 3

Complete the square

y = 2(x²  +  \frac{5}{2}x + ( \frac{5}{4})²) - 3

- 2( \frac{5}{4})²

Write as a squared binomial and simplify the constant

y = 2(x +  \frac{5}{4})² - 6 \frac{1}{8}

Re-write to match signs of standard general form:

y = 2(x - ( -  \frac{5}{4}))² \:  + ( - 6 \frac{1}{8})
