Answer: To determine Rocco´s weight jake must use this expression

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

  • Rocco´s initial weight: 55 pounds
  • Pounds lost per week: 0.5 pounds  

So, we have to write an equation where p is Rocco's weight after w weeks.

Each week Rocco will lose 0.5 pounds so the expression is 0.5w, where w is the number of weeks.

Mathematically speaking:

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

By replacing w by the number of weeks, Jake will obtain Rocco´s weight.

For example, if the number of weeks is 20:

p= 55-0.5x 10

p= 55 - 20

p= 35

After 20 weeks Rocco will lose 10 pounds.

Kyle works at a donut​ factory, where a​ 10-oz cup of coffee costs 95cents​, a​ 14-oz cup costs​ $1.15, and a​ 20-oz cup costs​
choli [55]
Let x = no. of 10 oz cups sold
Let y = no. of 14 oz cups sold
Let z = no. of 20 oz cups sold
:
Equation 1: total number of cups sold:
x + y + z = 24
:
Equation 2: amt of coffee consumed:
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
:
Equation 3: total revenue from cups sold
.95x + 1.15y + 1.50z = 30.60
:
Mult the 1st equation by 20 and subtract the 2nd equation from it:
20x + 20y + 20z = 480
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
------------------------ subtracting eliminates z
10x + 6y = 96; (eq 4)

Mult the 1st equation by 1.5 and subtract the 3rd equation from it:
1.5x + 1.5y + 1.5z = 36.00
.95x + 1.15y+ 1.5z = 30.60
---------------------------subtracting eliminates z again
.55x + .35y = 5.40; (eq 5)

Multiply eq 4 by .055 and subtract from eq 5:
.55x + .35y = 5.40
.55x + .33y = 5.28
--------------------eliminates x
0x + .02y = .12
y = .12/.02
y = 6 ea 14 oz cups sold 

Substitute 6 for y for in eq 4
10x + 6(6) = 96
10x = 96 - 36
x = 60/10
x = 6 ea 10 oz cups

That would leave 12 ea 20 oz cups (24 - 6 - 6 = 12)

Check our solutions in eq 2:
10(6) + 14(6) + 20(12) =
60 + 84 + 240 = 384 oz

A lot steps, hope it made some sense! I hope this helps!! ;D

How is a one-degree angle helpful classifying angles?
faltersainse [42]
It can give you a pretty good idea of how many degrees everything is. for example if something was 13degrees, you would be able to make an estimate because you know how much one degree is.

Arielle wants to make a circular garden. She has enough fencing for a garden circumference of 15 feet. There is a 7-foot gap bet
lesantik [10]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to check if the circle with a circumference of 15 feet is smaller then 7 feet. If so it possible.

Formule for circular circumference = pi * diameter, which should be 15.

So pi * d =15

There fore d = 15/pi

d = 4.77464829275686 feet, which is smaller then 7 feet, so it will fit easilly.
