Answer:
Jim's current weight = 119 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Stone = 14 pounds
stone = 1.5 stone
1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds
Jim lost 21 pounds
Let X be Jim's Original Weight
Y be his present weight
As per given statement in the Question:
After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y
Present weight = original weight - 21
Y = X -21 <u> Equation 1</u>
Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)
Y = 85 % (X) =
Y=
put in Equation 1
= X-21
85X = (X-21) 100
85 X = 100 X -2100
or
2100 = 100 X - 85X
2100 = 15X
or
15 X = 2100
X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)
Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 <u><em>(From Equation 1)</em></u>
Y = X -21
Y = 140 -21
Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)
Answer:
Point of intersection (-11/3 , 1/3)
All distances from the vertices are
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertices of the triangle is A(-3,5) , B (1,1) and C (-7,-3)
We need to find the perpendicular bisector of the triangle first
let's take one side connecting A and B
mid point of A and B = (-1,3)
Slope of the line joining A and B = -1
slope of perpendicular to line joining A and B = 1
equation of line passing through (-1,3) with slope 1
y - 3 = 1(x-(-1))
y -3 = x+1
x-y = -4 ............(1)
similarly
mid point joining B and C = (-3,-1)
slope perpendicular to line joining B and C = -2
Equation of perpendicular bisector of line joining B and C =
y +1 = -2(x +3 )
y+1 = -2x -6
2x+y = -7 ..........(2)
On solving 1 and 2
x= -11/3 , y= 1/3
Distances
From A =
From B =
From C =
