Since Dave and Mary are going opposite directions every hour mary will be moving 50 miles away and Dave will be moving 40 miles away meaning they will move 90 miles away from each other every hour. So 270 is 90 times three so in three hours they will be 270 miles away so at 1 pm they will be 270 miles apart.

Suppose that y varies directly with x and y=10 when x=20. What is y when x=15
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

y=kx

subst y=10 and x=20 into the above

<em>1</em><em>0</em><em>=</em><em>k20</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>0</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em>

<em>therefore</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>x</em>

<em>subst</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em>

<em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em>

Step by step explanation:

  • Step 1: when they say y varies directly with x they mean<em> y is proportional to x</em>
  • step 2: so y=kx where <em>k is the constant</em>
  • step 3: is to substitute <em>y=10</em> and <em>x=20</em> into the above equation y=kx
  • step 4: you will end up with <em>10=k20</em> then divide both sides by 20 so that <em>k becomes the subject of the formula </em>
  • step 5: your answer from the above will be <em>k=10/20 </em>so the relationship is <em>y is directly proportional to 1/2 x </em>what you did here is that you substituted k for 1/2 in the equation in step 3
  • step 6: is to finally substitute x=15 into the equation <em>y=1/2x</em> to finally get your answer <em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em><em>.</em>
