Jason with 120 and is going 10 pounds each month Gerardo weighs 150 pounds and is having 4 pounds each month . Write an equation

pshichka [43]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's original weight = 120 pounds

Let the no. of months be m

If he gains 10 pounds in each moth , then his weight in m months will be = 10m

His total weight will be= 120+10m -----(1)

Gerardo's original weight = 150 pounds

If he gains 4 pounds in each month , then his weight in m months will me =4m

His total weight will be = 150+4m-----(2)

<u>Equating (1) ans(2)</u>

120+10m=150+4m

=>10m-4m=150-120

=>6m=30

=>m= $\frac{30}{6}$

It will take 5 months for Jason to weigh the same as Gerardo

HELP ME QUICK PLEASEEEE solve for x: 2/x-2+7/x^2-4=5/x

Anna35 [415]

$\displaystyle\\\\\frac{2}{x-2}+\frac{7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{^{x+2)}2~~~~~}{x-2}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+4+7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+11}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\5(x^2-4)=x(2x+11)\\\\5x^2-20=2x^2+11x\\\\5x^2-2x^2 -11x-20=0$

$\displaystyle\\3x^2-11x-20=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+4\cdot3\cdot20}}{2\cdot3}=\\\\=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+240}}{6}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{361 }}{6}=\frac{11\pm19}{6}\\\\x_1=\frac{11-19}{6}=\frac{-8}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_1=-\frac{4}{3}}\\\\x_2=\frac{11+19}{6}=\frac{30}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_2=5}$

An isosceles triangle in which the two equal sides, labeled a, are longer than the base, labeled b. This isosceles triangle has

Bas_tet [7]

Hey there! I’m happy to help!

We see that the two equal sides are longer than the base. This means that our a will be larger than b. The problem says that one of the longer sides is 6.3. Since the two longer sides are equal, that means that both longer sides are 6.3 cm. Therefore, we can simply subtract these two from the perimeter to find the shorter side, which is the base.

15.7-6.3-6.3=3.1

Therefore, the length of the base is 3.1 cm.

I hope that this helps!
