The sum of Jim's weight and Bob's weight is 180 pounds. If you subtract Jim's weight from Bob's weight, you get half of Bob's weight. How many pounds does Bob weigh?

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use systems of equations to solve this problem. Assuming j is Jim's weight and b is Bob's weight, the equations are:

j + b = 180

b - j = 1/2b

Let's get b - j = 1/2b into standard form (b, then j, then the equal sign, then the constant.)

Now we can solve using the process of elimination.

Now we know how much Bob weighs, for fun, let's find Jim's weight by substituting into the equation.

So Bob weighs 120 pounds and Jim weight 60 pounds.

Hope this helped!

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.
