Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse proportion.

z = k/w

z = 3, w = 4

Solve for k constant.

3 = k/4

(4)3 = (4)k/4

12=k

The value of k constant is 12.

z = k/w

Put w as 2 and k as 12 and solve for z.

z = 12/2

z = 6

The value of z when w equals 2 is 6.

suter [353]
Lets try to solve this problem using 2 equations, also,we will have bananas=b and pears =p

5b+3p= $3.80
2b+4p= $3.20  i will divide this equation by 2 and get
b+2p= $ 1.60  we subtract 2p from both side so i can find the cost for 1 banana
b+2p-2p=1.60-2p
b= $1.60-2p

I will replace the b in the first equation now,

5(1.60-2p)+3p=$3.80
8-10p+3p=3.80   solving for p
8-7p=3.80     we subtract 8 from both sides
-7p=-8+3.80
-7p=-4.20  we multiply both sides by (-1)
7p=4.20  we divide now both sides by 7
p=0.60   a pear cost 0.60 cents

a banana is b=1.60-2p,   b=0.40 cents

How do you solve this equation?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

  p = A/(1 +rt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine terms using the distributive property, then divide by the coefficient of p.

  A = p(1 +rt)

  A/(1 +rt) = p

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x² - 20x - 56

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0, that is

4x² - 20x - 56 = 0 ( divide through by 4 )

x² - 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

Slope= 1/2
Y intercept= (0,2)

Explanation:
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
-2x+4y=8
