Jordana wrote the equation for a linear relationship as y = -8x-4. For what value of x is y equal to -16

1 answer:

7 0

So our two equations are y=-8x-4 and y=-16, and since in both equations, something equals the same y, those two are the same. So we can combine the two into -16=-8x-4. In the question, they are asking to solve for x. So to do that, you need to isolate your variable. Now for solving algebraic equations, you use reverse PEMDAS (SADMEP), meaning you add 4 to both sides to clear the -4 one the rights side to get -12=-8x. Then you divide both sides by -8 to get 12/8, which simplifies to 3/2.

The correct answer is C. Sample survey

Explanation:

A sample survey is a study method that involves selecting a portion of a population and asking questions to these individuals to know their opinions or insights about a particular situation. Additionally, the answers provided by the selected individuals are used to make conclusions about all the population. This method is the one used in the situation described because the store manager selects only some customers to know about the sales they prefer and would likely use this information to know the preferences of all the customers.

Simplify expression x8y-26/x14y-5 × x-39y-21

koban [17]

The simplified form of the expression is $x^{-45} y^{-42}$

<h3>Simplifying an expression</h3>

From the question, we are to simplify the given expression

The given expression is

$\frac{x^{8}y^{-26} }{x^{14}y^{-5} } \times x^{-39} y^{-21}$

The expression can be simplified as shown below

$\frac{x^{8}y^{-26} }{x^{14}y^{-5} } \times x^{-39} y^{-21}$

$\frac{x^{8} \times x^{-39} \times y^{-26} \times y^{-21} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

$\frac{x^{8+-39} \times y^{-26+-21} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

$\frac{x^{8-39} \times y^{-26-21} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

$\frac{x^{-31} \times y^{-47} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

Then,

$\frac{x^{-31} }{x^{14} } \times \frac{ y^{-47} }{ y^{-5} }$

$x^{-31-14} \times y^{-47--5}$

$x^{-31-14} \times y^{-47+5}$

$x^{-45} \times y^{-42}$

$x^{-45} y^{-42}$

Hence, the simplified form of the expression is $x^{-45} y^{-42}$

The constant of proportionality is equal to 11.

<h3>Constant of Proportionality</h3>

The constant of proportionality is the ratio that relates two given values in what is known as a proportional relationship. Other names for the constant of proportionality include the constant ratio, constant rate, unit rate, constant of variation, or even the rate of change.

In this question, the constant of proportionality is that value that doesn't change or represents the number of players while x represented the number of games they played.

The constant of proportionality can be solved mathematically as

$y = 11x\\x = 2\\22 = 11(2)\\22 = 22\\$

The constant of proportionality is the value that makes y = 11x and it is 11.
