Answer:

Option # C: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Decision variables, as the name imply are entities that can have different values in the given scenario and which in turn produce different outcomes. For our question, the variables are the sizes of TVs available, as the production time and profit depend on the sizes. Hence, TV sizes (i.e. 5) are our decision variables.

Furthermore, it does not matter on which machine the TVs are being manufactured as they will take identical time for same TV size. Thus we do not consider the number of machines as our decision variables.

Describe how the value of the independent variable is related to the value of the dependent variable. Is the relationship additi
n200080 [17]
The dependent value is determine by the value of the independent value. in other words, the dependent value is what you get when you take the independent value and substitute it in the original equation or situation. The relationship is multiplicative because you must first multiply the independent value in the equation where the x is before you can add or subtract to get your answer.<span />

Is the simplified form of 2-3 + 3.3 rational?<br> Yes<br> No
N76 [4]

Answer:

YES IT IS

Step-by-step explanation:

2-3 + 3.3

= -1 + 3.3

= -4.3

We learn that:

Rational number: rational number is the number that can be written as a/b (a and b would be intergers and b is not equal to 0). Rational number would be most of numbers we use in out life, except Square root and Pi number.

In this case, -4.3 can be write as -43/10

So YES it would be a rational number

Hope this helped :3

These triangles are similar. find Y and X
CaHeK987 [17]

It these triangles are similar, then the sides of the triangles are in proportion:

\dfrac{y}{10}=\dfrac{y+4}{15}      <em>cross multiply</em>

15y=10(y+4)    <em>use distributive property</em>

15y=10y+40       <em>subtract 10y from both sides</em>

5y=40           <em>divide both sides by 5</em>

\boxed{y=8}


\dfrac{x}{4}=\dfrac{6}{8}            <em>cross multiply</em>

8x=(4)(6)

8x=24           <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

\boxed{x=3}
