Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to make a box like this:

║ ---------- ║------------ ║     label one side percent and the other amount

║   x%     ║    96 kg  ║

║ _    _   _║_____ _║   Now if the patient originally weighed 102 kg which

║100%    ║    120 kg ║    is 100% place the numbers in the bottom box.

║ _  _  _  ║ _   _   _ ║     and if the patient currently weighs 96 kg then let

 Percent     Amount       percentage of the weight lost be x. Now cross multiply.  You should get 100*96=120*x. Simplify that to get 9600=120x, now divide by 120 on both sides and you get 80 so x= 80. But the problem isn't done yet. Now you have to subtract 80% from 100% to find the weight lost, because 80% is the percentage of the current weight. after you have subtracted you get 20

20% of the original weight was lost.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Option 1: It is better for him to be paid per catch, starting with 1 cent and doubling with each catch up to 110

Explanation:

If Jason were to be paid per catch given that he makes a total of 110 catches for the 2017 season in his new contract, he would make a total of :

0.01 × 2^109 = $6.4903711e+30(calculator result, means 6 then 30 digits after)

Therefore it is better for Jason to be paid per catch and not a flat fee of $2000000

vitfil [10]
<span>Amanda has 26 nickels and dimes. We shall call nickels x and dimes y. We can write the following equations: x = 3y -2 or -x +3y = 2 x + y = 26 We can cancel out the x to give 4y = 28 or y = 7 If there are 26 coins in total and 7 of them are dimes then there must be 19 nickels. The number of nickels (19) is two fewer than three times the number of dimes ( 3(7) - 2 = 19).</span>

Squaring both sides of an equation is irreversible. Is Cubing both sides of an equation reversible? Provide numerical examples t
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

<h2>Cubing both sides of an equation is reversible.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Squaring both sides of an equation is irreversible, because the square power of negative number gives a positive result, but you can't have a negative base with a positive number, given that the square root of a negative number doesn't exist for real numbers.

In case of cubic powers, this action is reversible, because the cubic root of a negative number is also a negative number. For example

\sqrt[3]{x} =-1

We cube both sides

(\sqrt[3]{x} )^{3} =(-1)^{3} \\x=-1

If we want to reverse the equation to the beginning, we can do it, using a cubic root on each side

\sqrt[3]{x}=\sqrt[3]{-1} \\\sqrt[3]{x}=-1

There you have it, cubing both sides of an equation is reversible.

Converting 4.9 kilograms would give you 11 of which US customary system unit? A. Pounds B. Stones C. Teaspoons D. Ounces Mark fo
Usimov [2.4K]

Kilograms is a type of measurement for weight, and so the converted measure should also be weight (which leaves only oz. and lbs.)

The converting ratio of kilograms to pounds is: 1 = 2.2

The converting ratio of kilograms to ounces is: 1 = 35.274

This means that pounds, or (B) is your closest answer


hope this helps
