Answer:
C. Greg weighs 180 pounds, and Justin weighs 165 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
let G be the weight of Greg and J be the weight of Justin
G -15=J
G/2 +75=J
G =J+15 (1)
G+150=2J. (2)
If We substitute G by J+15 in equation (2) we will get:
G =J+15
J+15+150=2J
G =J+15
J+15+150=2J
G =J+15
J+165=2J
then J=165 and G=165+15=180
Correct answer is 6... NOT 7...
Answer:
1.3 times 10 to the 25th power
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the
10
. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
Answer:
- see below for a drawing
- the area of one of the trapezoids is 20 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
No direction or other information about the desired parallelogram is given here, so we drew one arbitrarily. Likewise for the segment cutting it in half. It is convenient to have the bases of the trapezoids be the sides of the parallelogram that are 5 units apart.
The area of one trapezoid is ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(3+5)·5 = 20 . . . . square units
The sum of the trapezoid base lengths is necessarily the length of the base of the parallelogram, so the area of the trapezoid is necessarily 1/2 the area of the parallelogram. (The area is necessarily half the area of the parallelogram also because the problem has us divide the parallelogram into two identical parts.)
