Answer: 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: use variables to replace the two numbers

the second number = x

six more than twice the second number = 2x + 6

Their sum is 120: 3x + 6 = 120

Step 2: solve the equation

3x = 114

x = 114/3 = 38

Step 3: check your answer (optional)

six more than twice 38 = 82

38 + 82 = 120

hope this helps

A line segment has endpoints at (–4, –6) and (–6, 4). Which reflection will produce an image with endpoints at (4, –6) and (6, 4
Bad White [126]

Answer:

reflection in the y- axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a reflection in the y- axis

a point (x, y ) → (- x, y )

Note the x- coordinate is opposite in sign and the y- coordinate remains unchanged.

Thus

(- 4, - 6 ) → (4, - 6 )

(- 6, 4 ) → (6, 4 )

The endpoints have been reflected in the y- axis

Proportionately, the amount of the drug that the patient should be given is <u>2,993.71 mg</u>.

<h3>What is the proportion?</h3>

The proportion is the ratio of a variable to another.

Proportion defines the numerical relationships among variables.

Proportion shows how much a value is contained in the whole.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

2.20462 lb = 1 kg

165 lb = 74.8428 kg (165/2.20462)

1 kg = 40 mg of the drug

74.8428 kg = 2,993.71 mg (74.8428 kg x 40 mg)

Thus, the amount of the drug that the patient should be given is <u>2,993.71 mg</u>.
