Answer: Weight of Charles = 177.5 pounds

Weight of dos = 22.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Weight of Charles

y = Weight of dog.

As per given , we have the following system of linear equation :

x+y=200--------(i)\\\\x-20=7y-----------(ii)

We can write (ii) as :

x-7y=20---(iii)

Subtract equation (iii) from (i) , we get

8y=180\\\\ y=\dfrac{180}{8}=22.5

Put this value in (1) , we get

x+22.5=200\Rightarrow\ x=200-22.5=177.5

Hence ,  Weight of Charles = 177.5 pounds

Weight of dos = 22.5 pounds.

Order these numbers from least to the greatest, 47/10,4.606,4+13/20,4.64​
exis [7]

Answer:

From lowest to highest, the numbers would follow the following order:

1) 4.606, 2) 4.64, 3) 4 + 13/20, 4) 47/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the numbers 47/10, 4.606, 4 + 13/20 and 4.64 are presented, to order these from lowest to highest, the following calculations must be performed:

47/10 = 4.70

4,606

4 + 13/20 = 4 + 0.65 = 4.65

4.64

Therefore, from lowest to highest, the numbers would follow the following order:

1) 4.606, 2) 4.64, 3) 4 + 13/20, 4) 47/10.

Which of the following is the solution set to the inequality −25x+14>20? Select one: A. x < -64 B. x > -64 C. x < -1
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x< -0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is going to sound stupid, but I got x< -0.24 which is just not an option, but this is how I got it...

-25x+14>20

subtract 14 from each side

-25x>6

divide each side by -25

x< -0.24

I switch the way the sign was facing bc I divided by a negative.

Now I know that this must be wrong, but it makes the most sense because I am pretty sure I did all of the math right. Sorry this probably didnt help , but I did a lot of work to try and get the right answer, so Im not putting that work to waste

Zigmanuir [339]
X is the number:
Therefore, the equation is:
8(x-2)=3(x+3)

8x-16=3x+9
8x-3x=9+16
5x=25
x=25/5
x=5

Answer: the equation is: 8(x-2)=3(x+3), and the number is: 5
