Assume that y varies inversely with x. If y = 7 when x = 2/3, find y when x = 7/3. y = [?]

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

varies inversely

xy = k

y = 7 when x = 2/3

(2/3)7 = k

14/3 = k

k = 14/3

--------------------

find y when x = 7/3

(7/3)y = 14/3

multiply both sides by 3/7

y = 14/3 * 3/7

y = 2

Cable has 24 pennies he has hafe as many nickels as pennies he has 5 more dimes than nickels he has 6 fewer quarters than dimes

Andreyy89

Pennies (P) = 24
Nickels = 1/2P
Dimes = 1/2P + 5
Quarters = (1/2P + 5) -6

Therefore...

Nickels = 1/2P = 1/2(24)= 12
Dimes = 12 + 5 = 17
Quarters = 17 - 6 = 11

System of Equations Need help Trig

Yanka [14]

Looks like the system is

$\begin{cases}-2x+y+6z=1\\3x+2y+5z=16\\7x+3y-4z=11\end{cases}$

We can eliminate $y$ by taking

$(3x+2y+5z)-2(-2x+y+6z)=16-2(1)$

$\implies3x+2y+5z+4x-2y-12z=16-2$

$\implies7x-7z=14$

$\implies x-z=2$

so that $z=x-2$ , and

$(7x+3y-4z)-3(-2x+y+6z)=11-3(1)$

$\implies7x+3y-4z+6x-3y-18z=11-3$

$\implies13x-22z=8$

Substitute $z=x-2$ into this last equation and solve for $x$ :

$13x-22(x-2)=8$

$\implies13x-22x+44=8$

$\implies-9x=-36$

$\implies x=4$

Then

$z=x-2$

$\implies z=4-2$

$\implies z=2$

Plug these values into any one of the original equation to solve for $y$ :

$-2x+y+6z=1$

$\implies-2(4)+y+6(2)=1$

$\implies-8+y+12=1$

$\implies y=-3$

Hence the solution is x = 4, y = -3, and z = 2.
