Bob has some 10 lb weights and some 3 lb weights. Together, all his weights add up to 50 lbs. If x represents the number of 3 lb

weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights, which equation can be used to find the number of each type of weight Bob has? 3x – 10y = 50 3x = 50 – 10y 50 + 10y = 3y 50 + 3y = 10y

Answer:

3x = 50 - 10y

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of 3 lb weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights,

So, total weight of 3 lb weights = 3x

And, the weight of 10 lb weights = 10y

Total weight of all his weights = 3x + 10y

According to the question,

Total weight = 50 lb,

⇒ 3x + 10y = 50

Or 3x = 50 - 10y

Which is the required equation.

Second option is correct.

In a quadrilateral ABCD, AB || DC and AD || BC. Find the perimeter of triangle COD if the diagonals of the quadrilateral interse
aalyn [17]
Draw a diagram as shown below.

The diagonals are equal in length. Because AB || DC and AD || BC, the quadrilateral is a square.

Because the diagonals bisect each other at O, therefore
DO = BO = 10.
Likewise,
AO = CO = 10

Because AB = 13, therefore DC = 13.
The perimeter of ΔCOD is CO + CD + DO = 10 + 13 + 10 = 33 in

Answer: 33 in
