Answer:

ab = 280

a = 280/b

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is of the form

xy = k

Since we have a and b as our variables

ab = k

20 *14 = k

280 = k

ab = 280

Sometimes they write it as

a = 280/b

Answer:

$2x+3y=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line is $y=mx+b$ where $m$ is slope and $b$ is $y-intercept$ .

The line is parallel to $2x+3y=3$ , slope of both the lines will be same.

Find the slope of $2x+3y=3$

$3y=3-2x\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+1$

Slope of line $=-\frac{2}{3}$

$m=-\frac{2}{3}$

So the line will be $y=-\frac{2}{3}x+b$

It passes through $(3,-4)$ .

$-4=-\frac{2}{3}\times 3+b\\-4=-2+b\\b=-2\\$

Hence the line is $y=-\frac{2}{3}x-2$

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x-2\\3y=-2x-6\ \ \ \ \ \ \ (Multiply both sides by 3)\\2x+3y=-6$

You are going to mix a gallon bucket of window cleaner. The instructions direct you to mix 1 part cleaner to 3 parts water. How

Paul [167]

To mix cleaner and water you need to divide the bucket's capacity into 4.It's easy in this case as gallon is divided into quarts (1 gallon = 4 quarts).We know that one part will be cleaner, it means that you will need to use 1 quart of the cleaner.
hope thats right
