Answer:
I've been trying to figure this out with out a chart and i keep confusing myself
Step-by-step explanation:
nothing
So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.

First, I would show all the outcomes possible. To determine the number of the total outcomes, you use the formula: rⁿ, where r is the number of outcomes in 1 flip, and n is the number of lips. Thus, 2³ = 8 outcomes. These outcomes are:
1. HHH
2. TTT
3. HHT
<em>4. HTT</em>
5. HTH
6. THH
<em>7. TTH</em>
<em>8. THT</em>
From the given outcomes, there are <em>3 outcomes</em> that has at least two tails. These are the ones in bold characters.
First find the slope. 4+1/3-2 = 5/1 or 5. Plug in your points to find b. 4=5(3)+b. 4=15+b. b=-11. SO the equation is y=5x-11.
