Answer: The Inverse variation
Step-by-step explanation:
The phrase “ y varies inversely as x” or “ y is inversely proportional to x” means that as x gets bigger, y gets smaller, or vice versa. This concept is translated in two ways. yx = k for some constant k, called the constant of proportionality.
The answer is 7/5 th. You can add fractions without first having a common denominator so you would change the 8's by multiplying it by 5 to get 40 and you would multiply the 5 by 8 to get 40 as well. And the rule whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so whatever you multiplied 8 by do the same for the numerator and whatever you multiplied 5 by you do the same for the numerator. So your new equation would be (75/40+16/40)+(-35/40). you would then add the numerator's across to get 56 and the denominator would stay the same so the answer is 56/40. But you have to now simplify 56/40 down to 14/10 and then once more to 7/5 which is the final answer.
Joe : x
jim : y
x+y=16
y=1.50+x
x + 1.50 + x = 16
2x = 14.5
x = 7.25
7.25 + y = 16
y= 8.75
Joe : $7.25
Jim : $8.75
C. is your answer!
To find the answer to this problem you must find how many ounces there are total in the first part of the problem...3 glasses and 5 oz. in each one (5*3)=15!
Then the extra two ounces you just add on to 15! 15+2=17 total ounces Brad poured!
Hope this helps! Would love brainliest;)
