W = kL    where W = weight supported,  L = length of the beam and k is constant of variation.

Substituting the given values:-

310 = 2k
k = 155

so equation of variation is W = 155L

For length 10  m  the weight it can support is

W = 155*10  = 1550 kg answer

Answer:

62 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the weight of beam and l be the length of beam.

We have been given that the weight that a horizontal beam can support varies inversely as the length of the beam.

We know that inversely proportion quantities are in form: y=\frac{k}{x}, where k is constant of proportionality.

w=\frac{k}{l}

First of all, we will find the value of k using the w=310 and l=2 in inversely proportion equation as:

310=\frac{k}{2}

310*2=\frac{k}{2}*2

620=k

Now we will substitute 620=k and l=10, in our given equation as:

w=\frac{620}{10}

w=62

Therefore, a 10-m beam can support 62 kilograms.

The sum of two numbers is 64. One number is 8 more than the other. What are the two numbers?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

28 and 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so we are given that the sum of two numbers is 64. Based on this, we know that we are going to be adding because the question said "the sum of two numbers is 64." Sum is the answer to an addition problem. Lets write an equation.

We need a variable, let x be the variable which is the value of the smaller number.

the equation is x+x+8=64

x= to the smaller number

x+8= to the number that is eight more than x or the smaller number.

Before we isolate for x, we need to simplify the expression by combining the like terms.

x plus x equals 2x.

Therefore, we have 2x+8=64.

Our goal is to isolate x, so we need to subtract 8 from both sides. 8 mius 8 is 0, and 64 mius 8 is 56.

Now, we have 2x=56.

We still need to isolate x by dividing both sides by 2. 2 divided by 2 is 1, so we are left with 1x or x. 56 divided by 2 is 28.

x=28.

Great, we found what x or the smaller value is.

Now, we need to find the larger number.

Substitute x as 28 into x+8 to find the number that is 8 more than the smaller number or x. You'll then get 36. If you add 36 and 28, you get 64. Also, 36 is 8 more than 28, so this answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Mark all the statements that are true.
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Option A

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship is defined as a function if and only if each element of the "domain" set is assigned only one element of the "range" set. That is, there is only one output value y assigned to each input value x.

The relation x = 3 is not a function because there are infinite output values y, assigned to the same input element x.

(3, 2), (3, 5) (3, 9) (3,10000)

<u><em>Then the option A is true</em></u>

<em><u>Option C is also true,</u></em> the equation of the line shown is

x = 3

The rest of the options are false because x = 3 is not a function
