The answer is b. 200

<span>If y varies inversely as x, then: y = c/x

We know:
y = 40
x = 5

y = c/x
c = y * x
c = 40 * 5
c = 200</span>

Answer:

b. 200

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that y varies inversely as x.

Since we know that equation that represents the inversely proportional relation between y and x is:y=\frac{k}{x}, where,

k= Constant of proportionality.

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

40=\frac{k}{5}

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

40\times 5=\frac{k}{5}\times 5

200=k

Therefore, constant of proportionality for our given quantities is 200 and option b is the correct choice.

Mary spent half of her allowance going to the movies . She washed the family car and earned seven dollars . What is her weekly a
Debora [2.8K]
If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.
The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.

The equation you want to set up is

0.5x+7=18
Where, 18-7=11
0.5x=11
11/.5 = x
x = $22

Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.

Solve the equations<br>Y=2x-4, 3x+y=1​
liberstina [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 4

3x + y = 1

y = 1 - 3x

Equating,

2x - 4 = 1 - 3x

2x + 3x =  1 + 4

5x = 5

x = 1

Placing it,

y = 1 - 3(  1)

y = 1 - 3

y =  - 2
