Y varies directly as x means y=kx or k=y/x where k is the constant of variation
find k

y=12 and x=5
k=12/5
y=kx
when x=8
y=(12/5)(8)
y=96/5

Y=x/k
12=5/k
k=5/12

k= x/y
5/12=8/y
y = 12×8/5
y = 96/5
y= 19.05

Solve for x using the Quadratic Formula: x2 + 4x + 4 = 0<br> -b + Vb2 - 4ac<br> x=<br> 2a

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, a is 1, b is 4 and c is 4.

-4 plus or minus the square root of 4^2 - 4 * 1 * 4 divided by 2 * 1 = -4 plus or minus the square root of 16 - 16 / 2 = -4 plus or minus the square root of 0 / 2 = -4 / 2 = -2.

x = -2.

Hope this helps!

Maria had planned to walk 10 1/8 miles on wednesday, if she walked 7 2/8 miles in the morning how far would she need to walk in

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Distance Maria had to walk in the afternoon is $2\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take that Maria walked $x$ miles in the afternoon.

Distance walked in the morning + distance walked in the afternoon = $10\frac{1}{8}$

⇒ $7\frac{2}{8} +x=10\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{58}{8} +\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$\frac{58+8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$58+8x=81$

$8x=81-58\\$

$8x=23$

$x=\frac{23}{8}$

$x=2\frac{7}{8}$
