Ed : (0,205)(4,197)
slope(m) = (197 - 205) / (4 - 0) = -8/4 = -2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(0,205)...x = 0 and y = 205
time to sub
205 = -2(0) + b
205 = b
equation is : y = -2x + 205...so Ed loses 2 lbs per week

Eric :
y = -1.5x + 200...so Eric loses 1.5 lbs per week

when they started, Ed weighed 205 lbs and Eric weighed 200 lbs

* of the two, Eric loses fewer lbs per week. When the two began their respective weight-loss programs, Ed was heavier by 5 lbs.

Write a compound inequality that represents the annual profits P ( in millions or dollars) from 2006 to 2013.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(50000000 ≤ P ≤ 90000000)

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart represents annual profits in millions of dollars. From the chart, the least annual profit is 50 million dollars and that was is the year 2009.

The highest annual profit is 90 million dollars and that was is the year 2012.

The compound inequality representing the annual profits P(in millions or dollars) from 2006 to 2013 would be

(50000000 ≤ P ≤ 90000000)

A postcard in the shape of a parallelogram has an area of 12in^2. What are two possible lengths of bases and heights for the pos
Tpy6a [65]

A postcard is in the shape of a parallelogram. A parallelogram  is a quadrilateral with two pair of parallel sides, opposite sides and opposite angles are equal.

Since, the postcard has an area of 12 square inches.

Since, area of parallelogram = base \times height

As area of parallelogram is 12, it means that the product of base and height is 12 square inches.

So, the possible dimensions of postcard are 3 inches and 4 inches and 2 inches and 6 inches.

So, base = 3 inches , height = 4 inches or base = 4 inches , height = 3 inches.

So, base = 2 inches, height = 6 inches or base = 6 inches , height = 2 inches.

What is the number if 2/3 of 27 equal 25% of a number?
lina2011 [118]

To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation and let our unknown value be represented by the variable x. First, we must convert 25% into its decimal equivalent by dividing 25/100.

25/100 = 0.25

We should keep in mind that when we use the word “of” in math, it represents multiplication. This means that our equation should be set up with 2/3 multiplied by 27 on the left side equal to 0.25 times x on the right side, as modeled below:

(2/3)(27)=0.25x

To simplify this equation, we should perform the multiplication on the left side of the equation.

18 = 0.25x

Finally, we should divide both sides of the equation by 0.25 in order to isolate the variable x on the right side of the equation.

x = 72

Therefore, your answer and unknown number is 72.

Hope this helps!

djyliett [7]

There is a 13.3% chance that a sample of 200 U.S. students in grades 9 through 12 who attend public and private school will have 11% or fewer obese students if 13.7% of the population is obese this year. (Option D)

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the given information it is observed that the 2013 national Youth Risk Behavioural Survey reported that 13.7 percent of US students in grades 9 through the grade 12 who attended the public school were obese.

Consider the random sample of 200 US students and find that 11 percent are obesed. The Null and alternative hypothesis are

Null hypothesis, = 0.137, Alternative hypothesis, = p less than 0.137

Thus, the value of p is 0.133
