Let's say that y is the weight of the mother and x is the weight of the baby.
We know that the baby is 7437 pounds less than the mother, which means you need to add 7437 pounds to the baby's weight to get the mother's.
We can show it like this:
x+7437=y.
We know what the baby's weight is (1400 lbs), so just sub it in:
1400+7437=y
y=8837 lbs
The mom weighs 8837 pounds.
Using proportions, it is found that the family will drive 482.8 km on the new route.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, the family travels a distance of 125% of 240 miles, hence the distance is:
D = 1.25 x 240 = 300 miles.
Since there are are approximately <u>48.28 kilometers in 30 miles</u>, and 300/30 = 10, the distance in kilometers is given by:
D = 48.28 x 10 = 482.8 km.

Let x represent lower level tickets that cost $77
Let y represent upper level tickets that cost $99
Cost equation: 77x + 99y = 247,071
Tickets equation: x + y = 2615
Using the elimination method, multiply the second equation by -77:
77x + 99y = 247,071
-77x - 77y = -201,355
--> 22y = 45,716
--> y = 2,078
Now plug "y" into either equation and solve for "x". I chose the Tickets equation. x + y = 2615 → x = 2615 - y → x = 2615 - 2078 → x = 537
Answer: lower level = 537 tickets, upper level = 2078 tickets.
Yessir bring that 35 down yeh you thought I was gonna say as hahahah jokes on you my dad left me when I was inside my mom so yeh :(
The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
(-7c + 8d)0.6 = (-7c)(0.6) + (8d)(0.6) = -4.2c + 4.8d
