Answer:

5.2 Kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

On the table, the Time side gets greater by 1.5 each time, and on the weight side it gets bigger by 7.8 .

Since it's asking for kilograms per month, then you need to find the constant rate, which is x kilograms per 1 month. If he gained 7.8 kilograms in 1.5 months, then you divide 7.8 by 1.5, and that will get you 5.2 kilograms per month.

The wrestler gained 5.20 kilograms per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the weight gained every month.

y be the original weight before weight gain.

According to given statement;

0.5x+y=80.6 Eqn 1

2x+y=88.4 Eqn 2

3.5x+y=96.2 Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

$(2x+y)-(0.5x+y)=88.4-80.6\\2x+y-0.5x-y=7.8\\1.5x=7.8$

Dividing both sides by 1.5

$\frac{1.5x}{1.5}=\frac{7.8}{1.5}\\x=5.20$

The wrestler gained 5.20 kilograms per month.

The volume of a rectangular prism is 2,058cm. The Length of the prism is 3 times the width. The height is twice the width. Find

Nat2105 [25]

v = l x w x h

v = 2058

width = x

height = 2x

length = 3x

2058 = 3x*2x*x =

2058 = 6x^3=

343 = x^3

x = 7

2*7 = 14

3*7 = 21

21*14*7 = 2058

height is 14 cm

4x^2+2xy-10y^2+9=0 what is the value of a,b,c and the discriminant?

zavuch27 [327]

basically you treat y like a number and not a variable

Answer:

a is 4

b is 2y

c is -10y²+9

discriminant is 4(41y²-36)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x²+2xy-10y²+9=0

rewrite in standard form of a quadratic equation like ax² + bx + c = 0

4x²+2yx-10y²+9=0

basically you treat y like a number and not a variable

a is the number with the x²

right away we know a is 4 because of 4x²

b is the one with x so in this formula b is 2y

c is the number without the x which in this case is -10y²+9

discriminant is

b² - 4ac

(2y)²- (4)(4)(-10y²+9)

4y²-(16)(-10y²+9)

4y²+160y²-144

164y²-144 =

4(41y²-36)

Last season, your

Katarina [22]

Answer:

55%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent change formula is written like this:

$|\frac{change - original }{original}|$ . In this scenario, the "change" or new value is 31, because it is this season, and the original is last season. Now, 31-20 = 11, and 11/20 = 55%.
