Adog owner is told by the veterinarian that his dog, max, is overweight and needs to lose 4 to 5 pounds in order to live a healthy life. the dog weighs 126 pounds when he is put on a special diet to aid in the weight loss. the vet predicts that the diet will allows max to lose 4 ounces per week. max is brought to the vet every 2 weeks for a weight check. write an equation to represent the doctors prediction, and the relationship between max’s weight in pounds, y, and the number of times max’s weight is checked, x, in periods of two weeks. reduce all answers to the nearest tenth of a number

126-(x/2)=y

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that x represents weight check

If the dog is losing 4 ounces per week he will lose 8 ounces every weight check it is equivalent to 1/2 pound every weight check

If x is the checks 1/2*x represents the total of pounds the dog is losing depending the total checks

In one equation, we know dog´s first weight= 126 pounds

Then the equation is:

126-1/2*x=y

126-x/2=y

"y" being the final max weight depending on total weight checks

answer: im gonna go with milli

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages
