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.

Answer:

x= 60°, y = 80°, z = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the line substending 40° and Z°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.

Hence z= 40° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}

Similarly;

Look at the line substending 60° and x°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.

60° = x° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}

Now looking at the angle between x and y; let's call the angle between them r

And you would observe closely that r = z° = 40°{ vertically opposite angles are equal}

Note that x + r + y = 180°{ angle on a straight line}

y = 180° - ( x + r)

y = 180 - (60+40)

y = 180° - 100°

= 80°
