Answer:

  182 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the proportion for the required patient weight (w) as ...

  weight/medicine = w/(174.72 mg) = (150 lb)/(144 mg)

  w = (150 lb)(174.72/144) . . . . . multiply by 174.72 mg

  w ≈ 182 lb

The patient's weight is 182 pounds.

First, subtract 0.6 from both sides of the numbers and then simplify

Then multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators which gives us 2.8

So, n = 2.8

Hope it helps!

Without graphing, determine whether A(5,1) B(1,0), C(3,3) lie on the same line.Explain your reasoning
liubo4ka [24]
No they don't lie on the same line because all coordinate points would be at different distances from the origin. The only way a point could be at the same line as the others would be they would have to have the same x- or y- axis points. (For example: 6,5; 3,5; and 2,5 would all be on the same line, horizontally, because the 5 in all three coordinates refers to the y- axis aka the horizontal axis
