Given parameters:
y varies directly as w;
This interpreted implies that as y increases, we increases by a certain factor or amount;
So, y ∝ w
y = kw
where k is the constant of proportionality
Now, given that y = 8 and w = 2
Input in the equation to solve for k;
8 = k x 2
Solving k gives, k = 4
Now to the second part,
if v is directly proportional to w;
v = k w
So v = 4w
The equation that relates v to w is v = 4w
Integers are whole numbers that are either positive or negative. Operation of signs is important when dealing with integers.
In this case, -3 and -2 are integers that are being added.
if we add -3 by -2 we get -6 because when a negative number is added to a negative number the negative sign does not change
thus, (-3)-2 = -5
Answer: £90
Step-by-step explanation:
Pip and Sara get some money. They share it in the ratio 5 : 4.
Pip gets £50 so what did Sara get:
Use direct proportion:
5 : 4
50 : x
5x = 200
x = 200/5
x = £40
Pip got £50 and Sara got £40.
Together they got:
= 50 + 40
= £90
Answer:
2340
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulae for sum of interior angles is 180(n-2)
Whereby n=number of sides
(x, y ) → (- 1, 3 )
The solution to the system of equations is the point of intersection of the 2 lines
From the graph, that is (x, y ) → ( - 1, 3 )
We can confirm by solving algebraically
Since both equations express y in terms of x we can equate the right sides
- x + 2 = - 6x - 3 ( add 6x to both sides )
5x + 2 = - 3 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 1
substitute x = - 1 into either of the 2 equations for y-coordinate
y = - x + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
solution is (x, y ) → (- 1, 3 )
