The solution to the equation would be 21.5
Why?
If you do the equation backwards
30 - 8.5 = x
You would get 21.5
You can plug it into the first equation to check!
:)
Let's say that y is the weight of the mother and x is the weight of the baby.
We know that the baby is 7437 pounds less than the mother, which means you need to add 7437 pounds to the baby's weight to get the mother's.
We can show it like this:
x+7437=y.
We know what the baby's weight is (1400 lbs), so just sub it in:
1400+7437=y
y=8837 lbs
The mom weighs 8837 pounds.
answers below
so you guys won’t get it wrong
Answer:
y= -6x - 51
Step-by-step explanation:
5y = -6x - 10
Slope: -6
y = -6/5x - 2
Point: (-10,9)
y-intercept: 9 - (-6)(-10) = 9 -60 = - 51
So, questions 1 through 3 are pretty vague and you can basically put whatever you think. But... as a hint you might want to base your answers to 1 through 3 on question 4, which is more specific and gives you some clues.
For example, question 2 asks "When do people usually need Kleenexes?" Question 4 basically answers this for you by saying "...blah blah blah are used throughout the duration of a cold." So you could easily say that people usually need Kleenexes when they are sick. You could use this same type of reasoning to answer questions 1 and 3.
To answer 4 itself you need to know how to use confidence intervals. Are you familiar with that?
Question 5 will be based off of your answer to question 4.
