"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

In parallelogram ABCD , diagonals AC¯¯¯¯¯ and BD¯¯¯¯¯ intersect at point E, AE=2x2−3x , and CE=x2+4 .
spin [16.1K]
If the diagonals of the parallelogram intersect with each other, this means that the diagonals bisect each other. Thus,

    AE = CE

Substituting the equations,

  2x² - 3x = x² + 4

The values of x from the equation are equal to 4 and -1. 

  AE = 2(4)² - 3(4) = 20

Hence, AC is equal to 40. 

Answer: 40 units

What is 80 in its simplest form as a fraction?
Ann [662]

I believe the correct given problem is:

“What is 80% in its simplest form as a fraction?”

 

Take note that you missed to place the percent sign which is very important.

 

Now to solve this, 80% when converted to decimal form is 0.80 which means that you have 80 parts per 100 parts. Therefore the fraction form of this would be 80 / 100.

fraction = 80 / 100

However this fraction is not yet the answer because we can still simplify this further. First step in simplifying is to divide both the numerator and denominator by 10 so that we are left with:

8 / 10

Next step is to divide by 2:

4 / 5

 

Now we can see that we can no longer divide this (numbers should be whole number). Therefore the simplest form as a fraction is 4/5

 

Answer:

4/5
