Answer:

y = \frac{1}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 3 when x = \frac{1}{3} , then

3 = \frac{k}{\frac{1}{3} } ( multiply both sides by \frac{1}{3} )

3 × \frac{1}{3} = k

1 = k

y = \frac{1}{x} ← equation of variation

kobusy [5.1K]
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 We have then:
 x = Tim's age
 Now we write the equation:
 x + 7 = 3 (x-19)
 Answer:
 
Tim's age in 7 years will be three times what it was 19 years ago:

If 5 slices of pizza cost $5:50 how much does 
kupik [55]

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.

We have then:

x: number of slices

y: total cost

We write the linear function that relates the variables.

We have then:

y = (\frac{5.50}{5}) * x

Then, we evaluate the number of slices to find the total cost.

-two slices cost:

We substitute x = 2 in the given equation:

y = (\frac{5.50}{5}) * 2\\y = 2.2

Answer:

two slices = 2.2 $

-ten slices cost:

We substitute x = 10 in the given equation:

y = (\frac{5.50}{5}) * 10\\y = 11

Answer:

ten slices = 11 $

-half a slice cost:

We substitute x = 1/2 in the given equation:

y = (\frac{5.50}{5}) * \frac{1}{2}\\y = 0.55

Answer:

half a slice = 0.55 $
