"something" varies directly to "something else" means
 "something" = "some value" * "something else"
        y = "some value" * x
        y = (a) x
  y = (n)x
<span><span>y=<span>180</span>, x=n⟹<span><span>180</span>=(a)n
</span></span><span>y=n,x=5⟹<span>n=(a)5
</span></span><span>Thus <span>180</span>=(a)n⟹<span><span>180/</span>n</span>=a
Therefore,
</span><span>n=(a)5⟹n=<span>(<span><span>180/</span>n</span>)</span><span>5

The correct value of 'n' is 30.</span></span></span>

Answer:

The value of n for this relation is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x, this means that the relation between y and x can be stated as a linear relation of the kind:

y=mx

In the equation, m must be a number, to know exact relation. The two situations that are given can be stated as:

180=m.n

n=m.5

Note that are two unknowns quantities in the equation, m and n. In this particular problem, we must find n. To doing this, we will solve the equation for m:

180=m.n → m =180/n

n=m.5 → m = n/5

As m in both equations must be equal:

m = m  

180/n = n/5

180*5 = n*n

900=n^2 → n = 30

Tim and Cynthia leave Cynthia's house at the same time. Tim drives north and Cynthia drives west. Tim's average speed is 10 mph
RSB [31]

Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.

=6/3 + 2 (3)^2
= 2 + 2(9)
= 2 + 18

When you subtract one negative integer from another, will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with?
SVEN [57.7K]
So say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3
