If x is directly proportional to y, it means that as x increase, y also increases and vice versa. This could be done another way. Since I am already given a point of x and y, I could simply find the difference between x and y, which would be 12 in this case. To find the x value when y is 24, I would simply either add or subtract that difference. Depending on which of the x or y value is higher. In this case, since we are solving for y and y is larger than x, I would subtract it. Meaning x would be 12.

Two grapefruits and three oranges cost $1.95. Three grapefruits and two oranges cost $2.05.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

  • one orange costs $0.35  and  one grapefruit costs $0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>let grapefruits be g , let oranges be o</em>

so first equation:

→2g + 3o  = $1.95

→g = ($1.95 - 3o)/2

so second equation:

→ 3g + 2o = $2.05

→ g = ($2.05 - 2o)/3

Solving simultaneously:

→ ($2.05 - 2o)/3 = ($1.95 - 3o)/2

→ 2($2.05 - 2o) = 3($1.95 - 3o)

→ 4.1 - 4o = 5.85 - 9o

→ - 4o + 9o = 5.85 - 4.1

→ 5o = 1.75

→ o = $0.35

Therefore one orange costs $0.35

Then one grapefruit costs g → ($1.95 - 3o)/2

                                               → g = ($1.95 - 3(0.35))/2

                                               → g = 0.45

Therefore one grapefruit costs $0.45

Write an eqaution in slope-intercwpt form for the line with slope -5 and y-intercept 9
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

y = -5x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of an equation is:

y = mx + b

Since they gave you the slope and y-intercept, it is kind of a fill-in-the-blank problem. Nothing to calculate!

Fill in the slope for the m. Fill in the y-intercept for the b.

y = -5x + 9
