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

Charra [1.4K]

Answer: He will need 8 gallons of paint for the other murals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 1 gallon of paint was required to create 1 mural.

Since replicates have the same dimensions, i.e same total surface area.

So, if 8 replication need to be made, the quantity of the paint required for this will be

8  x (Quantity required for 1 mural)

= 8 x 1

= 8 gallons

Hence, he will need 8 gallons of paint for the other murals.
