*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.

How do you determine what your grade average is based on the following grades?:
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Test's average-95

Homework's average-96.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is mathematically defined as the sum of the values divided by the total number of values and is expressed as:

\bar X=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}, n=number \ of \ values.

The Tests' average is calculated as:

\bar X_t=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(98+92+95)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 285\\\\=95

Hence, the Tests' average is 95

#The Homework's average is calculated as:

\bar X_h=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(93+97+100)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 290\\\\=96.67

Hence, the Homework's average is 96.67

A shop keeper has offered an item for sale. Its label price is Rs . It is not sold in one-month period and after one month its l
BigorU [14]

Answer:

x = Rs 20,833.33

the value of x is Rs 20,833.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y and z represent the price of the item initially, after one month and after two months respectively.

Given that;

after one month its label price is reduced by 20%

y = x - 20% of x

y = x - 0.20x

y = 0.80x ........1

after 2 months its reduced price is further reduced by 10% and then sold it for Rs 15000.

z = y - 10% of y

z = y - 0.10y

z = 0.90y ........2

Substituting equation 1 into 2;

z = 0.90(0.80x)

z = 0.72x

Also z = Rs 15000

So,

z = 0.72x = Rs 15000

0.72x = Rs 15000

x = Rs 15000/0.72

x = Rs 20833.33333333

x = Rs 20,833.33

the value of x is Rs 20,833.33
