Answer: Addie weighs 4 ounces

Missy weighs 14 ounces

Corky weighs 8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the weight of Addie.

Let m represent the weight of Missy.

Let c represent the weight of Corky.

Together Addie and Missy weigh 18 ounces. This means that

a + m = 18 - - - - - - - - - 1

Missy and Corky weigh 22 ounces. This means that

m + c = 22

m = 22 - c - - - - - - - - - - 2

Addie and Corky weigh 12 ounces. This means that

a + c = 12

a = 12 - c - - - - - - - - - - - 3

Substituting equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1, it becomes

22 - c + 12 - c = 18

34 - 2c = 18

- 2c = 18 - 34 = - 16

c = - 16/ - 2 = 8

Substituting c = 8 into equation 2, it becomes

m = 22 - 8

m = 14

Substituting c = 8 into equation 3, it becomes

a = 12 - 8

a = 4

Find the components of the vector v with initial point P and terminal point Q. Find the unit vector u in the direction of v.
love history [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v=Q-P

v=(5,1,0)

u=v/(magnitude of v)=(5,1,0)/(\sqrt{5^2+1^2+0^2)

u=(5/5.09,1/5.09,0)

v=Q-P

v=(1,1,0)

u=v/(magnitude of v)=(1,1,0)/(\sqrt{1^2+1^2+0^2)

u=(1/\sqrt{2},1/\sqrt{2},0)

 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0
4 + 8x - 12 = 0
8x = 12 - 4
8x = 8
x = 1
