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

Fully Factor 3x^2 – 16x + 20
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. (3x2 - 10) (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 16x +20

Step 1: Sum = - 16x

Product = 60x^2

Step 2: Find 2 numbers that their sum is -16 and their product is 60. If you do that correctly, then you will get two numbers: 10 and -6

Step 3: Replace -16x with the two numbers found in step 2, then you will have; 3x^2 - 6x - 10x + 20

Step 4: Factorise the equation in step 3, like so;

(3x^2 - 6x)(- 10x + 20)

3x(x - 2) -10(x - 2)

(3x - 10)(x - 2)

To check if the answer is correct, expand the bracket: (3x - 10)(x - 2)

If the bracket is opened properly, you will get 3x^2 - 16x + 20

Which inequality is shown in this graph
Katena32 [7]

ANSWER

y \leqslant   - 2x - 2

EXPLANATION

The boundary line passes through (-2,2) and (0,-2).

The slope of this line is

m =  \frac{ - 2 - 2}{0 -  - 2}

m =  \frac{ - 4}{2}  =  - 2

The y-intercept is , c=-2.

The slope-intercept form of this line is given by;

y = mx + c

We substitute values to obtain;

y =  - 2x - 2

Since the lower half-plane is shaded the required inequality is

y \leqslant   - 2x - 2
