Answer:
If y varies inversely as x, then we write it as:
y = k/x
where k is some constant.
If we multiply both sides of this equation by x we get an equation for k:
k = x*y
We are given that y=4 when x=7, therefore:
k = 7*4 = 28
Put this back into our original equation to get:
y = 28/x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- Base pay = $835
- Commission = 5,75% of sales (it is assumed commission rate same as in July)
- Sales in August = $24116
<u>Total pay in August:</u>
- Total pay= Base pay + commission
- 835 + 24116*0.0575 = $2221.67
To solve this problem we want to let X equal the amount of points that team A scored. Now we want to express the amount of points that team B scored in terms of X. If team A scored 7 more points than team B then team B scored X-7 points. We know that together they scored 163 points so we can set up this equation: x + x - 7 = 163 2x - 7 = 163 2x = 155 X = 78 Team A scored 78 points

Problem 4
Note the markings at the top indicate that angle y represents half the angle BAC. In other words, we need 2 copies of angle y to make up angle BAC.
So we know that angle BAC = 2y
Due to the fact that triangle ABC is isosceles, we know that base angles B and C are congruent to 47.
Focusing on triangle ABC we have
So,
A+B+C = 180 .... for any triangle, the angles always add to 180
2y+47+47 = 180
2y+94 = 180
2y = 180-94
2y = 86
y = 86/2
y = 43
Turn your attention to triangle ABD.
Here we have
- angle A = y = 43
- angle B = 47
- angle D = x
We'll use the same idea as above, that all angles add to 180, to get...
A+B+D = 180
y+47+x = 180
43+47+x = 180
x+90 = 180
x = 180-90
x = 90
<h3>Answer: D) x = 90, y = 43</h3>
===================================================
Problem 5
Let x be the angle formed by the diagonal sides and the horizontal ground. This is considered the base angle because this triangle is isosceles.
We have two base angles x and the third angle up top is 34
x+x+34 = 180
2x+34 = 180
2x = 180-34
2x = 146
x = 146/2
x = 73
<h3>Answer: C) 73</h3>
