Alana and Petra bought 9 books combined.
Angus bought 19 books and had a $10 discount.
Angus spent $5 more than Alana and Petra combined.

This means that the price of 19 books is $15 more than the price of 9 books. 19 books is 10 books more than 9 books.

Giving you 10 books = $15, 1 book = $1.50

Quadratic equation results =

w = 6 or w = -8

But the measure could not be negative, therefore w = 6

charle [14.2K]

Answer:The  equation relating I, r, and k is I =K/r²

Step-by-step explanation:

The intensity, I, of a sound varies inversely with the square of the distance, r, from the source of the sound can be written as

I ∝ 1/r²

Introducing the constant of proportionality, K we have that

I =K x 1/r²

Therefore , the  equation relating I, r, and k is I =K/r²
