The strength of a rectangular beam varies jointly with its width and the square of its thickness. if a beam 7 7 inches wide and

3 3 inches thick supports 2520 2520 ​pounds, how much can a beam of the same material that is 2 2 inches wide and 1 1 inch inch thick​ support?

To solve the joint variation question we proceed as follows:
let the strength be p, the width be w, and thickness be t.
thus:
p=kwt
where k is the constant of proportionality.
p=2520 when w=7 and t=3
thus
2520=7*3*k
hence
k=120
thus the formula for variation is:
p=120wt
hence the value of p when w=2 in and t=1 in will be:
p=120*2*1
p=240 pounds

5x + 2y = 34<br> x= - 4y - 4
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you need to plug in -4y-4 for x. So, 5(-4y-4) + 2y=34. Now, use the distributive property and now it will become -20y -20 + 2y = 34. Add like terms which would be -20y + 2y = -18y. Now the equation is -18y - 20 = 34. Now use inverse operations and add 20 to both sides. Then the equation will be -18y = 54. When you divide -18 on both sides, you get y=-3.

Hope this helps :)
