48 = 4(x-2)
48 = 4x -8
56= 4x
14=x
x-2 = 12
one side is 12 inches long
This will solved using the concept of proportionality:
(height of the cliff)/(height of the pole)=(base of the cliff)/(length from base of pole to the rope)
thus, let the height of the cliff be x, plugging the values in the formula we obtain:
x/6=86/7
hence solving for x we get
x=(86×6)/7
x=73.71 ft
Answer:
The ordered pairs (3 , 6) , (5 , 10) show a proportional relationship ⇒ last answer
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to sole the problem
- Proportional relationship describes a simple relation between
two variables
- In direct proportion if one variable increases, then the other variable
increases and if one variable decreases, then the other variable
decreases
- In inverse proportion if one variable increases, then the other variable
decreases and if one variable decreases, then the other variable
increases
- The ratio between the two variables is always constant
- Ex: If x and y are in direct proportion, then x = ky, where k
is constant
If x and y in inverse proportion, then x = k/y, where k is constant
* Lets solve the problem
# Last table
∵ x = 3 and y = 6
∴ x/y = 3/6 = 1/2
∵ x = 5 and y = 10
∴ x/y = 5/10 = 1/2
∵ 1/2 is constant
∵ x/y = constant
∴ x and y are proportion
* The ordered pairs (3 , 6) , (5 , 10) show a proportional relationship
<h3>The solution as an ordered pair is (x,y) = (2,2)</h3><h3>x = 2 and y = 2 pair up together.</h3>
===============================
Work Shown:
4x+2y = 12
4x+2( y ) = 12
4x+2( 2x-2 ) = 12 ... replace y with 2x-2
4x+2( 2x ) + 2( -2 ) = 12 ... distribution rule
4x+4x-4 = 12
8x-4 = 12
8x-4+4 = 12+4 ... add 4 to both sides
8x = 16
8x/8 = 16/8 ... divide both sides by 8
x = 2 is the first part of the answer
Use x = 2 to find y
y = 2x-2
y = 2(2)-2 ... replace x with 2
y = 4-2
y = 2 is the second part of the answer
