Answer:

<u>150</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will shorten Eric, and Bob's names as E, and B.

So the equations are this

B-E = B+E - 240, E as Eric, and B as Bob, and this E+B=9(E-B)

Move the variables and you get

-2E =- 240

Just divide them both by -2

and E=120

So when we know the value of E we can just plug it into the 1st question

120+B=9B+1080

Moves the Variables and numbers to the other side

8B=1200

1200/8= 150

B=150

There is Bob's weight

hammer [34]

Answer:

  • - 1/4 (2x + 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide each term by - 1/4 first

  • -1/2x ÷ (- 1/4) = 1/2x × 4 = 2x
  • -5/4y ÷ (- 1/4) = 5/4y × 4 = 5y

Now facor out - 1/4

  • - 1/2x - 5/4y =
  • - 1/4 (2x + 5y)

Lines b and c are parallel what is the measure of angle 6?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

54 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If these two lines are parallel, than angles 1 and 7 are supplementary.

13x+9+5x+9=180

18x+18=180

x+1=10

x=9

Angle 6 and 7 are vertical angles, so they are equal. Therefore, angle 6 is:

5x+9=5(9)+9=54

Hope this helps!!

Find 2 consecutive integers that the sum is 149?
disa [49]
Write an equation. To do this, make one integer equal to x, and the other equal to x+1. Set these equal to 149. Your equation should read x+(x+1)=149. Solve. To do this, add the two x's together. Your equation is now 2x+1=149. Get your x's alone. First, subtract 1 from both sides. Now the equation is 148=2x. Divide both sides by 2 to get x alone. You now have x=74. Plug this value back into the original equation to find your value for the other integer, and you have the two integers as 74 and 75. Hope this helps!
