If y varies directly with x and y is 37.4 when x is 17, what is the value of x when y is 13.2?

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have y ∝ x which is another way of saying y varies directly with x

We can rewrite the direct proportion relation y ∝ x as y = k.x where k is a constant - the constant of proportionality

So y = kx or x = y/k

using y and x values know, we can solve for k and then solve for any x given y

We have

y = 37.4 =  k (17)

Therefore k = (37.4/17) = 2.2

To find x given y = 13.2, use the second equation
x = y/k = 13.2 / 2.2 =  6

Four dice, each numbered in the usual way from 1 to 6, are colored white, red, green and blue respectively. After casting them a
Delvig [45]
Suppose that the numbers that the boy being cast from the dice are 3 4 5 6.
 3 stands for white, 4 stands for red, 5 stands for green and 6 stands for blue.
  We need to interpret the statement given above.   The set of numbers is 3 4 4 6 6 5.
First, we need to get the mean of this set. Add all the numbers and divide by the total number that the set has. 
 3+4+4+6+6+5=  28 / 6
                        = 4.67    The mean is 4.67
For the variance, we will use the mean above ( 4.67 )

1. Squared the mean and subtract how many numbers are present in the set. 
   4.67x4.67= 21.8089 /6 = 3.64 set aside this result
2. Next squared all the numbers present in the set and add the result 

  3x3= 9 , 4x4= 16, 4x4=16, 6x6=36, 6x6=36, 5x5=25

9+16+16+36+36+25= 138 

3. Subtract the result of #2 with #1
          138 - 3.64=  134.36 set this aside

4. Subtract 1 from the total numbers you have in your set

 6 - 1= 5 

5. Divide the result we have in #3 with the result of #4

  134.36 / 5= 26. 872

So the variance is 26.872

Solve this equation please <br>5X2 - 15 = 5​
Lena [83]

Answer:

x = 2 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 15 = 5​

⇌

5x² = 15 + 5

⇌

5x² = 20

⇌

x² = 20/5 = 4

⇌

x² = 2²

⇌

x² - 2² = 0

⇌

(x - 2)(x + 2) = 0

⇌   we use the zero product property

x - 2 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

⇌

x = 2 or x = -2
