Answer: 480 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using direct proportion whereby y = kx

where,

x = patient's weight = 92 pounds

k = constant

y = milligrams of antibiotics = 320

Using y = kx

320 = 92k

k = 320/92

k = 3.4782609

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds will be:

y = kx

y = 3.4782609 × 138

y = 480 milligrams

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds is 480 milligrams.

Jane multiplies her number by three and subtracts 2.
katrin [286]

Answer:

Let the number they chose be 'x'.

Result of Jane = 3x -2

Result of Elliot = 2x+3

Given that,

The product of their result = 110

or, (3x-2)(2x+3) = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +9x-4x-6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6-110 = 0\\\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 116 = 0\\or, 6x^{2} +29x - 24x - 116 = 0\\or, x (6x +29) -4(6x+29) = 0\\or, (x-4)(6x+29) = 0\\i.e. x=4 or x=\frac{-29}{6} \\So,~ the ~number ~they~ chose~was ~either ~4 ~or ~\frac{-29}{6}

(2, 7) and (-4,1)<br> In point slope form
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

First you need to find the slope with this equation.

<h3>m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  m=slope</h3><h3>m=\frac{1-7}{-4-2}</h3><h3>m=\frac{-6}{-6}</h3><h3>m=1</h3>

So the point slope form formula is:

<h3>y-y1=m(x-x1)</h3><h3>y-7=1(x-2)</h3><h3>y-7=x-2</h3>

y=x-2+7\\y=x+5This is the point slope form.I hope this help.
