Can someone help me with this and show their work and how they found the answer?

Answer:

2kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sum of the other 2 bricks be R. Given that the heaviest brick weighs 2/3 times as much as the other 2 bricks in total, then the weight of the heaviest brick H in terms of the weight of the other 2 will be

H = 2/3 * R

= 2R/3

Given that the 3 bricks weigh 5kg in total then,

2R/3 + R = 5

Multiply through the equation by 3

2R + 3R = 15

5R = 15

Divide both sides by 5

R = 15/5

= 3

The weight of the heaviest brick is 2R/3. Since R = 3, the heaviest block weighs

= 2 * 3/3

= 2kg

Write the equation of a line through (2, -3), perpendicular to y = 1/3x
REY [17]

to make a perpendicular function from another we must take its slope and make two transformations

the slope of y=1/3x is 1/3

the transformations:

1.

reverse the number

\frac{1}{3}\longrightarrow\frac{3}{1}=3

2.

and change the sign

3\longrightarrow-3

ok we have the slope now need the general equation of the line

y=mx+b

where m is the slope , b a cut point and (x,y) a point

so, we have the slope=-3 , and the point (2,-3) we can replace to find b

\begin{gathered} (-3)=(-3)(2)+b \\ -3=-6+b \\ b=-3+6 \\ b=3 \end{gathered}

now we can replace b and the slope to have the final equation

y=-3x+3
