-3(2x-4)+8x-8
-6x+12+8x-8
2x+4
x=2
Ordered pairs that work for this direct variation are (4, 3), (8, 6) and (12, 9).
In order to find these, we must first find the value of the direct variation coefficient. We can do that using the base equation y = kx and then by plugging in to find k.
y = kx
12 = k(16)
3/4 = k
Now that we have k, we can model the equation as y = 3/4x. We can also find any number of ordered pairs by using the x value and finding the y value. All of the above answers work.
I just took the test the correct answer is 285.74 square centimeters
30 is 20% of 150
Working out percentage problems of the form "30 is 20 percent of what number?"
We have, 20% × x = 30
or,
20/100 × x = 30
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 20,
we have x = 30 × 100/20
x = 150
If you are using a calculator, simply enter 30×100÷20, which will give you the answer.
