Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question:
Z varies jointly with x and y , x=2 and y=2, z=7. Find z when x=4 and y=8 using joint variation . (I need the problem worked out step by step)
If z varies jointly with x, and y, this is expressed as;
z = kxy
If z=7 when x= 2, y= 2
7 = k(2)(2)
7 = 4k
k = 7/4
To get z when x= 4 and y = 8
z = kxy
z =7/4 (4)(8)
z = 7*8
z = 56
Hence the value of z is 56
Answer:
B the service fee for coming to look at the machine
Step-by-step explanation:
So the two numbers can be represented as x and y
so x is first and y is second
y=2(x)-8
so y=2x-8
IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)
