You can figure out how many miles per hour it travels by dividing 18/3. This gives us the answer of 6. 3/4 = 0.75 so we can multiply 6 * 0.75 to get 4.5 as our final answer. It will travel 4.5 miles in 3/4 of an hour.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+7x-8=34+9x-2
(Combine like terms)
4x-8=32
(Add 8 to each side)
4x=40
(Divide by 4)
X=10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If two variables are directly proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable.
Given that y varies directly with x, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression becomes
y = kx
If y = 8 when x = 3, then
8 = 3k
k = 3/8
Therefore, the direct variation equation that relates x and y is
y = 3x/8
When x = 12, then
y = 3 × 12/8
y = 4.5
The equation is y = 20(1.40)^x
where x is the number of days and y is the future amount after x days go by
The 1.40 is from the fact that 1+r = 1+0.40 = 1.40, where r is the decimal form of 40%, so r = 0.40
-----------------------------
Plug in x = 7 to get
y = 20(1.40)^x
y = 20(1.40)^7
y = 210.827008
y = 211
We round to the nearest whole number since it doesn't make much sense to have a fractional portion of an algae. After 7 days, there are about <u>211</u> algae.
