Simultaneous equations
Jamar=J
Josh=j
4J=j
20+J=2j
Then
4J=j
-4 (J)=-4(2j-20)
So
0=-7j+80
7j=80
j=80÷7

Find the distance between the points given.

Maru [420]

Use the distance formula

$d = \sqrt {\left( {x_1 - x_2 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_1 - y_2 } \right)^2$

Input corresponding numbers

$d = \sqrt {\left( {2- 6} \right)^2 + \left( {5-8} \right)^2$

Solve

$d = \sqrt {\left( {-4} \right)^2 + \left( {-3} \right)^2$

$\sqrt{16 + 9}$

$\sqrt{25} = 5\\\\ d=5$

So, the distance between the points given is 5

From this question I take it that you need to know what is 130% of 45 mg. 130% of 45 is equal to 1.3x45, which is 58.3. So, your answer is 58.3 mg of the vitamin.
