Answer: it will take 23 weeks for both of them to weigh the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of weeks that it will take both of them to weigh the same.

Let y represent the weight of Jose in x weeks.

Let z represent the weight of Marty in x weeks.

Jose weighs 180 pounds and plans on gaining 2 pounds per week. This means that

y = 180 + 2x - - - - - - - - 1

Marty weighs 249 pounds and plans on losing 1 pound per week. This means that

z = 249 - x - - - - - - - - 2

To determine the number of weeks that it will take both of them to weigh the same, we will equate both equations. It becomes

180 + 2x = 249 - x

2x + x = 249 - 180

3x = 69

x = 69/3 = 23

If Sasha can run 720 yards in 4 minutes, how many feet can she run in 15 seconds?
Vika [28.1K]
Okay so you're trying to find the unit rate of 720yds/4min. If you divide 720 by 4 you will have the unit rate as 180yds/1 min or 60 sec then if you divide 180 and 60 by 4 again you will get the answer of 45yds/15sec.

Simplify the expression<br>5-2(9)|+9^2÷3​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

5 - 2×9 + 9^2/3

Hint: | Evaluate 9^2.

9^2 = 81:

5 - 2×9 + 81/3

Hint: | Reduce 81/3 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 81 and 3.

The gcd of 81 and 3 is 3, so 81/3 = (3×27)/(3×1) = 3/3×27 = 27:

5 - 2×9 + 27

Hint: | Multiply -2 and 9 together.

-2×9 = -18:

5 + -18 + 27

Hint: | Evaluate 5 + 27 using long addition.
