As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
Answer:
7 hours 30min
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one :
Given data
We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours
Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour
And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours
Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour
Step two
The combined work expression is
1/A+1/B=1/T
Where A=Erica's work rate
B=Rachael's work rate
T=combined work
1/5+1/B=1/3
1/B=1/3-1/5
1/B=5-3/15
1/B=2/15
B=15/2
B=7.5 hours
It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room
Answer:
1. Find the common denominator.
2. Multiply everything by the common denominator.
3. Simplify.
4. Check the answer(s) to make sure there isn't an extraneous solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps!
The answer is C.
To solve these types of equations you first need to make sure that you equation is equal to 0. In this case all of the numbers are already on the same side so no work needs to be done there. Then we can get a, b and c values for the quadratic equation by looking at the coefficients.
a = 4 (number attached to x^2)
b = -6 (number attached to x)
c = 1 (number with no variable attached)
Now we can put this into the quadratic equation.
