\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}
\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad  variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \textit{time it takes varies inversely with the speed rate}\qquad \stackrel{time}{t}=\cfrac{k}{\stackrel{rate}{r}}
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
t=\stackrel{hrs}{4}\\
r=\stackrel{mph}{50}
\end{cases}\implies 4=\cfrac{k}{50}\implies 200=k
\\\\\\
\boxed{t=\cfrac{200}{r}}
\\\\\\
\textit{if your rate r = 40, what is your distance \underline{t}?}\qquad t=\cfrac{200}{40}

What is 9a - 3 (2a - 4) = 15
faltersainse [42]
<span>9a + -3(2a + -4) = 15 Reorder the terms: 9a + -3(-4 + 2a) = 15 9a + (-4 * -3 + 2a * -3) = 15 9a + (12 + -6a) = 15 Reorder the terms: 12 + 9a + -6a = 15 Combine like terms: 9a + -6a = 3a 12 + 3a = 15 Solving 12 + 3a = 15 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-12' to each side of the equation. 12 + -12 + 3a = 15 + -12 Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0 0 + 3a = 15 + -12 3a = 15 + -12 Combine like terms: 15 + -12 = 3 3a = 3 Divide each side by '3'. a = 1 Simplifying a = 1</span>
