Answer:

3 1/2 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

I used this equation:

2.5/5 = x/7

Then I cross multiplied:

2.5 * 7 = 5x

After I found out that x = 3 1/2

The sum of Jim's weight and Bob's weight is 180 pounds. If you subtract Jim's weight from Bob's weight, you get half of Bob's we

Furkat [3]

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use systems of equations to solve this problem. Assuming j is Jim's weight and b is Bob's weight, the equations are:

j + b = 180

b - j = 1/2b

Let's get b - j = 1/2b into standard form (b, then j, then the equal sign, then the constant.)

$b - j = \frac{b}{2}\\\frac{b}{2} - j = 0$

Now we can solve using the process of elimination.

$b + j = 180\\\\\frac{b}{2} - j = 0\\\\b + \frac{b}{2} = 180\\\\b + b \cdot 2 = 180\cdot 2\\3b = 360\\b = 120$

Now we know how much Bob weighs, for fun, let's find Jim's weight by substituting into the equation.

$120 + j = 180\\j = 180-120\\j = 60$

So Bob weighs 120 pounds and Jim weight 60 pounds.

Hope this helped!

The difference of the square of a number and 10 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the negative solution.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x. The statement tells us that

x^2 - 10 = 3x, or

x^2-3x-10 = 0

Factoring:

(x-5)(x+2) = 0. Here, we see that there are two solutions: x = 5 and x = -2. So, the negative solution is x = -2.

Reptile [31]

$tan\theta=\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}\\\\\\Look\ at\ the\ picture.\\\\In\ a\ right\ triangle:\\\\sin\theta=\frac{a}{c};\ cos\theta=\frac{b}{c};\ tan\theta=\frac{a}{b}\\\\\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}=\frac{\frac{a}{c}}{\frac{b}{c}}=\frac{a}{c}\times\frac{c}{b}=\frac{a}{b}=tan\theta$
