Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 25 when x = $\frac{1}{5}$ , then

25 = $\frac{k}{\frac{1}{5} }$ = 5k ( divide both sides by 5 )

5 = k

y = $\frac{5}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 5, then

y = $\frac{5}{5}$ = 1

zimovet [89]

Answer:

a = 60° or π/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

sin² a/2 - sin a/2 + 1/4

To find :-

Solving :-

sin² a/2 - sin a/2 + 1/4 = (sin a/2 - 1/2)² = 0

sin a/2 - 1/2 = 0

sin a/2 = 1/2

a/2 = 30°

Solution :-

a = 60° or π/3

Answer:

This is an percentage change question, by any chance you have a maths textbook, look for units that contains the topic: Percentage Change. Now, let's get solving! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you must multiply 4.5% with 56. That is: shipping fees x purchase price

No addition/totaling needed as the question asked ONLY for the shipping fees.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(x+9)-4x=11x-13x+23\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(9)-4x=(11x-13x)+23\\\\3x+27-4x=-2x+23\\\\(3x-4x)+27=-2x+23\\\\-x+27=-2x+23\qquad|\text{subtrsact 27 from both sides}\\\\-x=-2x-4\qquad|\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x=-4$
