Answer: 192 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the weight of Frances ( in pounds ).

Given : The ratio between Frances and Carolina's weight is 8: 7

If Carolina weighs 168 pounds, then using proportion s we have the equation below :-

$\dfrac{x}{168}=\dfrac{8}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{8\times168}{7}\ \ \text{[Multiply 168 on both sides]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8\times24=192$

Therefore, the weight of Frances = 192 pounds.

How would I solve the equations: y = x-4 and y=x^2-4x using substitution

andriy [413]

Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

y = x - 4

26 = 4x + y

If y = y, then we can rewrite this system as this: 4x + x - 4 = 26

Then we combine like terms and add 4 on both sides to give us 5 x = 30 . Divide by 5 on both sides and we arrive at the solution: x = 6

Isabella has twice as much money invested at 4% as she has invested at 3%, and she has $500 more invested at 5% than she has at

adell [148]

Invested at 3% = x
invested at 4% = 2x
invested at 5% = x+500

0.03x + 0.04(2x) + 0.05(x+500) = 2025
0.03x + 0.08x +0.05x +25 = 2025
0.16x = 2000
x= 12,500
4% = 2x = 12,500 * 2 = $25,000
