2. If y varies inversely as x and y = 3 when x = 5, find x when y = 2.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the law of variation,

y <> 1/x, where <> is the constant of proportionality. Therefore

y = k/x where k is a constant

3 = k/5 and k = 15

To find x when y = 2.5(5/2)

Go back to the second equation

y = k/x

5/2 = 15/x

When you cross multiply

5x = 30.

Divide through by 5,

x = 6.

What is the solution to 4x -10 &gt; X - 12?<br> (-0, -18)<br> (-18.00)<br> 06-0, 18)<br> (18,6)
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x>-\dfrac{2}{3}\to x\in\left(-\dfrac{2}{3},\ \infty\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-10>x-12\qquad\text{add 10 to both sides}\\4x-10+10>x-12+10\\4x>x-2\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\4x-x>x-x-2\\3x>-2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\dfrac{3x}{3}>\dfrac{-2}{3}\\x>-\dfrac{2}{3}

a trunk measures 48 inches long 22 and 1/2 feet wide and 32 inches high what is the volume of the box
Whitepunk [10]
The volume is 414,720 in³, which equals 240 ft³.

We need all of the units to be the same.  Since 2 of the 3 measurements are in inches, we will convert the feet to inches.  12 inches = 1 foot, so 
22.5(12) = 270

To find the volume of a rectangular prism (box), multiply the length, width, and height:
270(48)(32) = 414,720 in³

If we want this in cubic feet, we need to know first that 1 ft³ is a cube with side length 1 ft = 12 inches.  This means that the volume is 12*12*12 = 1728 in³.  Therefore there are 1728 in³ in 1 ft³:
414720/1728 = 240 ft³
