Easy Algebra question!

Let's use "x" as a variable.

The equation would be x+x+60 = 240 with "x" being George's weight.

Subtract 60 from both sides and you get 2x = 180.

From there you divide both sides by 2, getting x=90.

"x" is George's weight, so he weighs 90 pounds.

ANSWER: 90 POUNDS

kari74 [83]

Answer:

y= 1/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

to calculate gradient: change in y/change in x

-3/-12 = 0.25

y = 1/4x+c

4 * 1/4 = 1

6-1 = 5

c= 5

Totally:
y= 1/4x+5

Imagine a regression line that relates y = average systolic blood pressure to x = age. The average blood pressure for people 40

mart [117]

Answer:

2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

x = age

y = average systolic blood pressure

x₁ = 40 years old, y₁ = 110 systolic blood pressure

x₂ = 50 years old, y₂ = 130 systolic blood pressure

$\text{Slope of a line}=m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\Rightarrow m= \frac{130-110}{50-40}\\\Rightarrow\frac{20}{10}\\\Rightarrow m= 2.0$

∴ Slope of the regression line is 2.0
