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

Divide 7 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the right side is the variable y.

Lara tossed a fair coin 3 times. What is the probability of getting heads in the first two trials? 1 over 8 2 over 8 3 over 8 4
Dovator [93]
4/8 is equal to 1/2. While this is true of one coin toss, it is not a 50% chance if you toss the coin twice. In tossing the coin twice you have the options of: heads, tails, heads, tails (One head and one tail per coin). Since there are four options, it is a 25% chance you will get heads twice in a row. 25% equals 1/4 which equals 2/8.

I don't know how to do question 12(b)
Virty [35]
Amy: x skirts Betty: 2x skirts Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation: [(2x) + 7] - 18 = x +18 +18 (2x) + 7 = x + 18 - 7 -7 2x = x + 11 -x -x x = 11 Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check. Amy: 11 Betty: 2(x) 2(11) =22 Carol: (2x) + 7 22 + 7 =29 Does Amy have 18 less than Carol? Carol - Amy = 18 29 - 11 = 18 18 = 18 the problem is solved
