To round to the nearest tenth - look at the number to the right of the tenth value ( the hundredth) and follow the rule
<em>5 or more round up, 4 or less round down
</em>As 1 is lower than 4, we round down.
36.11 therefore rounds down to 36.1
So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.

Answer:
So if Keven started with 0 he then got 6 then gave it away, that means he simply had none to himself.
Answer:
48 and 48
Step-by-step explanation:
product means multiplication
