The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:
15 weeks
Explanation:
Let w be the number of weeks. Bill weighs 150 pounds and wants to gain 2 lbs per week; this gives us the expression 150+2w for Bill.
Jamal weighs 195 and wants to lose 1 pound per week; this gives us the expression 195-1w for Jamal.
To determine how many weeks it will take them to weigh the same, we set the two expressions equal:
150+2w=195-1w
Add 1w to each side:
150+2w+1w = 195-1w+1w
150+3w = 195
Subtract 150 from each side:
150+3w-150 = 195-150
3w = 45
Divide each side by 3:
3w/3 = 45/3
w = 15
Cos -2x or -cos2x, it's the difference.
Answer:
y= 3/5x+ 6.2
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is change in y over change in x.
-4-(-1) divided by 3-8 will be -3/-5 = 3/5
For the y-intercept, plug in x and y values. I will use (3,8).
8= 3/5(3)+b
8= 9/5+b
(subtract 9/5 from both sides)= 6 and 1/5 or 6.2 as a decimal.
He started out with 19.1 gallons because if you add 5.8 and 12.4 you get 19.1
