It is recommended that backpackers should carry no more than 20% of their body weight on long hikes and no more than 10% of thei

r body weight on short hikes.
Part A
A hiker who weighs 160 pounds is planning a long hike. The weight of their backpack when packed with essential equipment is 15 pounds. Write an inequality to show how many pounds, p, the hiker can still add to their backpack and stay within the recommended weight.

Part B
A hiker who weighs 180 pounds is planning a day hike. The weight of their backpack when packed with essential equipment is 7.5 pounds. How much weight can the hiker still add to their backpack and stay within the recommended weight?
Place an X in the table to show whether each weight is within recommendation or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

part A

20% of 160

0.2×160=32

the hiker can still add = 32-15=17pounds

(X)

part B

10% of 180

0.1×180=18

the hiker can still add =18-7.5=10.5pounds

(X)

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

324

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

g(x)=4x^2+2x\\ \\f(x)=\int\limits^x_0 {g(t)} \, dt

Find:

f(6)

First, find f(x):

f(x)\\ \\=\int\limits^x_0 {g(t)} \, dt\\ \\=\int\limits^x_0 {(4t^2+2t)} \, dt\\ \\=\left(4\cdot \dfrac{t^3}{3}+2\cdot \dfrac{t^2}{2}\right)\big|\limits^x_0\\ \\=\left(\dfrac{4t^3}{3}+t^2\right)\big|\limits^x_0\\ \\= \left(\dfrac{4x^3}{3}+x^2\right)-\left(\dfrac{4\cdot 0^3}{3}+0^2\right)\\ \\=\dfrac{4x^3}{3}+x^2

Now,

f(6)\\ \\=\dfrac{4\cdot 6^3}{3}+6^2\\ \\=288+36\\ \\=324

Answer:

2x+12=24

first you subtract 12 from both sides

2x+12=24

-12. -12

The 12-12 should cancel itself, the rest of the equation you bring down to get

2x=12 (because 24-12=12)


Now you have 2x=12.
you then divide 2x by both sides.

2x=12

/2x=/2x

The 2x/2x cancels itself out so you then solve for 12/2x.

For this you just divide 12/2 which is 6!

x= 6 is your final answer.
to check this equation you can plug your number back into x to see if it is true! 2(6)+12=24.
6 times 2 is 12 and 12+12 is 24 so your answer (6) is true!


hope this helps! :D

Answer:

y =14

11x = 11*3.5 =38.5

3x+2y = 11x = 38.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all three sides

3x+2y + 11x+y = 91

Combine like terms

14x +3y = 91

The lines mean the sides are equal

3x+2y = 11x

Simplify

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+2y = 11x-3x

2y = 8x

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 8x/2

y = 4x

Substitute 4x in the first equation every time you see y

14x +3y = 91

14x +3(4x) = 91

14x+12x=91

26x = 91

Divide by 26

26x/26 =91/26

x = 3.5

Now we can find y

y = 4x

y = 4(3.5)

y = 14

We know x and y we can find the length of each of the sides

y =14

11x = 11*3.5 =38.5

3x+2y = 11x = 38.5
