a dog weighs 44 pounds and the veterinarian thinks i needs to lose 7 pounds. Milkala wrote the equation x+7 to represent the situation. Kirk wrote the equation 44- x = 7. Which equation is correct? can you write another equation that represents the situation?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: so assuming that you meant that the dog needs to lose 7 pounds
the equation should be
44-7=x
where x represents the dog's ideal weight

x+7 means 7 more pounds
44-x=7 means that 44 minus the ideal weight is 7
this can be reweiten as 44-7=x so this is correct


Kirk is correct
another equation is 44-7=x
Answer 2
Answer:

Hmmm I don't think either is correct.

So he weighs 44 pounds, and needs to lose 7 pounds

44 - 7 = x

where x is the dog's new weight.

1: An isosceles triangle XYZ has an equal side XY and XZ of length 16 cm. Of the third side YZ is 20 cm, calculate the altitude the triangle Leave Answer in surd form

Answers

Answer:

2√39 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔXYZ is an isosceles triangle & XY = XZ, therefore:

YX' = X'Z

      = 20 ÷ 2

      = 10 cm

ΔXYZ' is a right triangle, therefore:

XY² = YX'² + XX'²

16² = 10² + XX'²

XX'² = 256 - 100

XX' = √156

      = 2√39 cm

There are 420 children in a school. 45% of the pupils are boys. How many boys are there?
How many girls are there?

Answers

1 \% = (1)/(100) \n \n 45 \% =(45)/(100)=(9)/(20)\n \n total \ children : 420 \n \n boys : \n \n420 \cdot 45 \% = 420 \cdot (9)/(20)= 21\cdot 9 =189 \n \n girls : \ \n \n 420 -189 = 231
total children = 420
boys = 45% of 420 = 189 boys
Girls = (100-45)% = 55% of 420 = 231 boys

it takes 1 gallon of diesel 1 fuel for a cruise ship to trarel 6 inches how many gallons will it take for the cruise ship to travel 1 mile

Answers

The last cruise I went on had a cocktail party for returning guests, which the captain attended to participate in a question and answer conversation. One of the questions asked pertained to the amount of fuel a cruise ship uses. I can't remember everything that was said, but I do remember the captain saying one gallon of fuel moved the ship a mere 17 inches!! So I would imagine close to a thousand gallons of fuel would be needed to move the ship one mile..

Taryn bought 12.6 gallons of gasoline. There are approximately 3.8 liters in 1 gallon. Which measurement is closest to the number of liters of gasoline Taryn bought?

Answers

Answer:

Amount in liters is 47.9 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The Question is incomplete, it does not provide the measurements or options to choose from, but we can estimate the answer

Step one:

Given data

Taryn Bought 12.6gallons of gasoline

1 gallon of gasoline is  3.8 liters

We want to convert from gallons to liters

Step two:

----if 1 gallon has 3.8 liters

then 12.6 gallons will have x liters

cross multiply we have

x= 12.6*3.8

x=47.88 liters

Hence the estimated amount in liters is 47.9 liters

c. 5/sin(25°)
d. sin(25°)/5

Answers

Answer:

  b. 5tan(25°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function gives the ratio between the side opposite and the side adjacent to the angle. That is ...

  tan(25°) = ?/5

Multiplying by 5 solves the equation:

  ? = 5·tan(25°)

Rolex worked 40 hours last week. He had 74 deducted from his earnings for taxes. If he had 286 left after the deduction how much does Rolex earn per hour?

Answers

Answer:

Rolex earns $9 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dollars he earns each hour be x.

To create our equation we need to find the total number of dollars he earned before his deduction which is 40x.

Then we know that he got 74 dollars deducted from his total earnings leaving him with 286 which gives us an equation. 40x + 74 = 286

40x - 74 = 286          (Equation)

40x = 360                  (Add 74 from both sides)

x = 9                           (Divide both sides by 40)
