So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.

It passes through the center of the points. (2)
When doing a line of best fit, you want the line to have equal number of points on either side of the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
in isoscles triangles two angles and lengths are equal .
two sides equal 3.5
so both of the angles are 55°
the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so
x = 180° - 55° - 55°
x = 70° (Ans)
Pound is the unit of measure of passengers car weight
According the statement
The weight of passengers car is 4.5 times 10 superscript 3 units.
from this it is clear that the in simple terms the weight become 4.5 * 10^3
AND
the term 10^3 is used when we measure the weight in pounds.
So, Pound is the unit of measure of passengers car weight.

Answer: 68 minutes or 1 hour and 8 minutes spent in all putting up the fence
Step-by-step explanation:
(4/5) x 60 = 48 minutes
4/5 is the same as 0.8, which is what you get when you divide four by 5
So, 0.8 x 60 = 48 is also acceptable
Then,
(1/3) x 60 = 20 minutes
1/3 is the same as 0.333333333333, which is what you get when you divided 1 by 3
So, 0.33333(and so on) x 60 = 20
- Typically, you can round 0.3333333 down to something like 0.333 which should give you a similar answer
Then, as it asks you for how much time he spent in all, you add those two together
48 minutes + 20 minutes = 68 minutes OR 1 hour and 8 minutes (There is sixty minutes in 1 hour, so subtract the 60 from 68 and then you have 8 minutes left, thus 1 hour and 60 minutes)
