*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero

*Solution 

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis, 

                        3(x+y) = y
                      3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                              3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, 

                                x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y, 

                              x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

A circle has an area of 314.1592. What is the diameter? (round to the nearest whole number)
ad-work [718]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is equal to pi*radius^2

We can then write this as

314.1592=π*r^2

We then divide pi to get

100=r^2

take the square root and you find that the radius equals around 10

The diameter is always equal to the radius times two which means that the diameter is 20

hope this helps

s2008m [1.1K]
First lets remove the initial fee
190 - 40 = 150
150 is how much she is charging you per hour.
If each hour is 55, lets divide 150 by 55.
150 \div 55 = 2.7
She charged you for 2.7 hours (almost 3) of service
