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.

Answer:

f(-2) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function has three definitions depending on the value of x.

You are looking for the value of the function at x = -2.

-2 is in the interval x <= -1, which is the first line of the definition of the function.

We use the first line of the definition of the function.

f(x) = -2x for x <= -1

f(-2) = -2(-2) = 4

Answer: f(-2) = 4

In □PQRS side PQ∥ side RS. If m∠P = 108degree
natka813 [3]

<h2>Given :-</h2>

In □PQRS side PQ∥ side RS. If m∠P = 108degree

and m∠R = 53degree

<h2>To Find :-</h2>

m∠Q and m∠S.

<h2>Solution :-</h2>

According to angle sum property

P∠Q=180−∠P

∠Q=180−108

\boxed{\sf{\angle Q = 72°}}

For angle S

∠S=180−∠R

∠S=180−53

\boxed{\sf {\angle S = 127°}}

The measure of an angle is seventy-one times the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Degger [83]

Answer:

2 degrees and 178 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, remember if 2 angles are supplementary, they equal 180 degrees. Let's call the smaller angle x, meaning the bigger angle, which is 89 times the size of the smaller angle, would be 89x. Now let's put that into an equation.

180 = x + 89x

We now have to group the x's together:

180 = 90x

Now in order to determine x, we have to divide by 90 on both sides.

X= 2

So we know that the smaller angle is 2, meaning that if the larger angle is 89 times the size, the larger angle would be 178.

13x + 7x - 4x = (-40)
dlinn [17]
13x + 7x - 4x = -40
combine like terms o0n the left
16x = -40
divide both sides by 16
x = -5/2 or -2.5
