Based on the given parameters, the value of Rx is R18

<h3>How to determine the value of Rx?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Number of people = 25

Amount paid = Rx

Additional people of 5 = Amount paid being R3 less

The total amount paid is calculated using:

Total amount = Number of people * Amount paid

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Total amount = 25 * x

Total amount = (25 + 5) * (x - 3)

Substitute Total amount = (25 + 5) * (x - 3) in Total amount = 25 * x

(25 + 5) * (x - 3) = 25 * x

Evaluate the sum

30 * (x - 3) = 25 * x

Evaluate the products

30x - 90 = 25x

Collect like terms

30x - 25x = 90

Evaluate the like terms

5x = 90

Divide both sides by 5

x = 18

Hence, the value of Rx is R18

the value of y varies directly with x, and when x = 1/4 , y = 25. What is the value of y when x is 2 1/3 need help ASAP

Grace [21]

Answer:

$y=233\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

In this problem we have

For $x=1/4, y=25$

Find the value of k (constant of proportionality)

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=25/(1/4)=100$

The linear equation is

$y=100x$

Find the value of y when the value of $x=2\frac{1}{3}$

substitute the value of x in the equation but first convert to an improper fraction

$x=2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2*3+1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$

$y=100(\frac{7}{3})=\frac{700}{3}$

convert the result in mixed number

$\frac{700}{3}=\frac{699}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=233\frac{1}{3}$

Answer:

it is twice as long(10/12 inches longer

Step-by-step explanation:

1 4/6 make the 6 a 12 and the four a 8. 1= 12/12 so 8+12=20 so 20/12 and 20 is 10/12 more that 10/12 or twice as much.

Rebecca bought a square table for her kitchen. The area of the table’s surface is 65 ft • 2 What is the approximate length of on

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

This problem is on the mensuration of solids,

given that the area is 65ft^2

step two:

we know that the expression for the area of a solid is

areaa= length* length

area= l^2

step three:

substituting the value of the area into the expression we have

65=l^2

we need to square both sides to solve for l we have

√65=l

l= 8.05ft

step four:

From the analysis we found the length of one side to be 8.06ft
