In general, the statement 'a is subtracted from b' is written as

$b-a$

Therefore, 'A number is subtracted from 2' is written as,

$2-x$

The answer is 2-x

soln

(x+3)°+(2x+3)°

x°+3°+2x°+3°=90°(beign complementary angles)

3x+6=90°

3x=90°_6

3x=84

x=84/3

x=28°

$\bf (x-2)^{2\div 3}=49\implies (x-2)^{\frac{2}{3}}=7^2\implies \stackrel{\textit{raising both sides by }\frac{3}{2}}{\left( (x-2)^{\frac{2}{3}} \right)^{\frac{3}{2}}=(7^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}} \\\\\\ (x-2)^{\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{3}{2}}=7^3\implies (x-2)^1=7^3\implies x=7^3+2\implies x=345$

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation? y=5x 0 1 4 or 5

Ann [662]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5

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=ky/x=k or y=kxy=kx

The value of the constant k is equal to the value of the slope

In this problem we have

y=5xy=5x ------> is a linear direct variation

The slope is m=5m=5

therefore

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5
