Answer:
3.5 Grams
Step-by-step
set 2grams/60lbs equal to xgrams/105
x representing the amount of medicine needed for a 105lb child
Then you divide 60 by 105.
60/105=1.75
Now you multiply 2 by 1.75.
2 x 1.75 = 3.5
3.5 is your answer because 105 is 1.75 times more lbs than 60lbs
meaning you would need 1.75 times the amount of 2grams
to determine the value of x, which is 3.5grams
Answer:
always true
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding 4-b to both sides of the equation gives ...
ax = 4
Then dividing by "a" gives ...
x = 4/a
This is always true when a≠0.
We certainly wish him all the best, and caution him to be careful.
The correct answer is; 14x +4
There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)
There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.
How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.
The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope
(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2
The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is
(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2
The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.
Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.
