Y
y=ax
where a is a constant of proportionality;
y=20, x=4
20=4a
a=20/4
a=5
y=5x
The constant of variation is 5

Complete this conversion. given: 10 mm = 1 cm given: 100 cm = 1 m find: 7.5 m = ___ mm

krek1111 [17]

We have that
10 mm is equal to -------> 1 cm----> multiply by 100
10*100 mm is equal to -------> 1*100 cm
1000 mm is equal to -------> 100 cm
and
we know that
100 cm is equal to-------> 1 m
therefore
1000 mm is equal to -------> 100 cm
100 cm is equal to-------> 1 m

1000 mm is equal to--------> 1 m
X mm-----------------> 7.5 m
x-7.5*1000-----> x=7500 mm

the answer is
7500 mm

Michelle brought an apple cut in 4 for $0.10 per piece. How much should she pay for 3 dozen pieces

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

$0.90

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{10}=0.4$

3 dozen = 36

$\frac{36}{0.4} =\frac{y}{0.1}$

0.4 × y = 36 × 0.1

0.4y = 3.6

0.4y ÷ 0.4 = 3.6 ÷ 0.4

y = 9

For f (x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = x^2 -6, find (f-g) (x)

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x), so

f(x) - g(x)

= 3x + 1 - (x² - 6) ← distribute by - 1

= 3x + 1 - x² + 6 ← collect like terms

= - x² + 3x + 7 → D
