Answer:

9 and 11  

Step-by-step explanation:

First number = x -2

Second number = x

  and   2x = 3(x-2)  - 5

            2x = 3x - 6 - 5

             x = 11

              first number = 11-2 = 9

The distance between City A and City B is 500 miles. A length of 1.8 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map. City C
Ratling [72]

Answer: 800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual distance between City C and City​ D be represented by x.

The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:

1.8 feet / 2.88 feet = 500 miles / x

Cross multiply

1.8 × x = 500 × 2.88

1.8x = 1440

x = 1440/1.8

x = 800

Therefore, the actual distance between City C and City​ D is 800 miles.

Of the following equations below, which equation represents a direct variation between x and y?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C. y +3 = x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find in below option x has direct variation with y.

We solve for each;

A. 2y = 3x-7

From above equation we can state that 2 times y is equal to 7 less than 3 times of x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.  

B. y-4 = x+6

Solving above expression we get;

y-4 = x+6\\y = x+6+4\\y=x+10

From above equation we can state that y is equal to 10 more than x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.

C. y+3 = x+3

Solving above expression we get;

y+3 = x+3\\y = x+3-3\\y=x

From above equation we can state that y is equal to x.

Hence it represent direct variation.

D. 4y+1 = 4x-1

Solving above expression we get;

4y+1 = 4x-1\\4y = 4x-1-1\\4y=4x-2

From above equation we can state that 4 times y is equal to 2 less than 4 times of x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.

Hence the Answer which represent direct variation of x and y is,

C. y+3 = x+3
