Answer:
a) 
b) 
when 
Step-by-step explanation:
since y varies inversely with x.
We need to find the constant, k.
Let's use a point (x,y) on the curve.
We are given an (x,y)=(5,10):
Multiply both sides by 5:
.
So the equation is:
What is y when x=2?
Answer:
this is just a guess but 81
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope it is right, but I just did quick math.
so it might also be 82 if you round up to the nearest number. (sorry if this is confusing)
“Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers” means P = 10 + E
“A pencil costs $0.15” means that $0.15*P was spent on pencils
“an eraser costs $.22” means that $0.22*E was spent on erasers
“He paid a total of $4.46” means that $0.15*P + $0.22*E = $4.46
15*(10+E) + 22*E = 446
150 + 37E = 446
37E = 296
E = 8 Jesse bought 8 erasers
