Luke started a weight-loss program. The first week, he lost x pounds. The second week, he lost pounds less than times the pounds he lost the first week. The third week, he lost 1 pound more than of the pounds he lost the first week. Liam started a weight-loss program when Luke did. The first week, he lost 1 pound less than times the pounds Luke lost the first week. The second week, he lost 4 pounds less than times the pounds Luke lost the first week. The third week, he lost pound more than times the pounds Luke lost the first week. Assuming they both lost the same number of pounds over the three weeks, complete the following sentences.

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

0lz try yourself sorry for not answering

option (a)

step-by-step explanation:

step 1:   take 2 number whose product equal to 25..

and sum of those two number are -10

step: 2 for example here if we take 5,5 are the number,,

5*5=25

and

5+5=10

but we need -10

so if we take   -5,-5

so -5*-5=25

and -5+(-5)=-10

s0

come the equation

replace -10x by these number

like -5x -5x+25

take common

x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0

(x-5)(x-5)=0
