This is all about proportions. You can make this into fractions:

3/5 = 12/x

A good way to handle this, is to make one of those numbers the same. If you do (3/5) * 4, you would get 12/20 (because 4 * 3 = 12 and 4 * 5 = 20)

So then you have this:

12/20 = 12/x

It's basically a fill in the blank from there. x= 20

We have: 3/5 = 12/?

Cross multiply:
3*?= 5*12
⇒ ?= 5*12/3= 20

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph? A)-5 B)-1/5 C)5 D)1/5
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you use rise/run. In this case... the rise is 5 up and the run is 1 across. Therefore it is 5/1 which is the same as 5. Hope this helped!

Solving linear equations
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

(x, y ) = ( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{2})

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

4x + 2y = 7 → (1)

y = 5x → (2)

Substitute y = 5x into equation (1)

4x + 2(5x) = 7

4x + 10x = 7

14x = 7 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = \frac{7}{14} = \frac{1}{2}

substitute this value into equation (2)

y = 5 × \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

a carpet layer can put down 400 square feet of carpeting in 2.5 hours. How many hours will it take him to lay 600 square feet of
N76 [4]
You can set it up like:

400/2.5 = 600/x; now cross multiply
400x = 2.5(600)
400x = 1,500; now divide both sides by 400 to isolate the x, and you get x = 3.75 hours

If f(x)=1/9x-2, what is f-1(x)
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
To find the inverse of f(x), you solve for the independent variable, x, and then swap the variable labels.  The reason for doing so is easily seen if one remembers what an inverse function really is.  The inverse function will produce the opposite coordinate as the parent function.  If f(x)=(x,y), f^-1(x)=(y,x), so the inverse function simply creates the inverse of all of the points that exist for f(x)...with that out of the way, let y=f(x), then:

y=1/(9x-2)  (I am trying to decipher what you actually meant to type)

Multiply both sides by (9x-2)

y(9x-2)=1  divide both sides by y

9x-2=1/y  add 2 to both sides

9x=1/y+2  which is equal to

9x=(1+2y)/y  divide both sides by 9

x=(1+2y)/(9y)  now switch labels...

y=(1+2x)/(9x)

f^-1(x)=(1+2x)/(9x)

Again, I am not sure that I understood what you meant to type for the equation... strictly as typed you actually have:

y=x/9-2  which can be written as:

y=(x-18)/9  multiply both sides by 9

9y=x-18  add 18 to both sides

9y+18=x then switch labels

y=9x+18

f^-1(x)=9x+18

The denominator must be made clear in this format by using () brackets, otherwise it is anyone's guess...
