Read the following. “if 5 is decreased from double joe’s weight, the result is 230. what is joe’s weight? ” which of the following translations is correct? j – 5 = 230 5 – 2j = 230 2j – 5 = 230 none of the choices is correct.

a) Joe's weight is: 117.5

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that 5 is decreased from double Joe’s weight and the result is 230. Then, if represents Joe’s weight you can write the following expression:

2. To know Joe’s weight you must solve for . Then, you obtain the result show below:

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

(a) the volume of the cone is 20/3 in3

hence, option a is correct.
