145-10x=10x-35
Add 35 to both sides.
175-10x=10x
Add 10x to both sides.
175=20x
Divide both sides by 20
8.75=x
So, 80 - 8. equals 72 / 2 = 36... then add 36 + 8 to one and you have 44...
44 for length and 36 for width
Answer:
x = - 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is
y =
← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 27 when x = 12, then
k = yx = 27 × 12 = 324, thus
y =
← is the equation of variation
When y = - 9, then
- 9 =
( multiply both sides by x )
- 9x = 324 ( divide both sides by - 9 )
x = - 36
