Here is a model I have made (I'm not a great artist). There are 42 circles in total, placed in 7 columns. Each column has 6 circles. This model represents 42/7 by splitting 42 into 7 parts, which are the columns, and showing that each column has 6 circles, which is the answer to 42/7.
If you eliminate the parentheses, then add mq, you have
... y - p + mq = mx
Then dividing by m gives you the equation for x:
... x = (y - p + mq)/m
Hello,
x= the number
3x= three times the number
seven decreased by three times a number is forty, then:
7-3x=40
-3x=33
x=-11
Answer: the number is -11
The value of x when y =4 is 2
<h3>How to solve for x?</h3>
An inverse proportion is represented as:
k = yx
Where
k represents the constant of proportion
When y = 2, x = 4.
So, we have:
k =2 * 4
k = 8
Substitute k = 8 in k = yx
So, we have:
yx = 8
When y = 4, we have:
4x = 8
Divide by 4
x = 2
Hence, the value of x when y =4 is 2
