Mr. Taylor weighs 300 pounds. He went on the Subway diet and was guaranteed to lose 5 pounds per week. Write an equation that could be used to find how many weeks, w, it would take for him to weigh 150 pounds

1.) 300 - 5w = 150

2.) 30 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

w = weeks on the diet

if every week he's on the diet, that means that the weeks * 5 is how many pounds he loses. If he's on the diet one week then he loses 5 pounds. 2 weeks then 10 pounds... etc. But because he's losing punds the value is negative

He starts at 300 pounds so the y-intercept (starting value) would be 300

Finally, because he's looking to get to 150 pounds, that is the final value you're solving for

So this is your firat equation:

300 - 5w = 150

Then we are looking for when two different eqaution have the same value.

Your equation is: 60 + 7w

Her equation is: 120 + 5w

Your final equation is 60 + 7w = 120 + 5w

Solve for this by getting w on one side, and your plain old variable-less value on the other. Do this by subtracting 5w from each side, as well as 60.

Your equation is now 2w = 60

Then divide the whole equation by 2, and you get w = 30

hope this helps, be safe :)

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
