What is the difference between direct and inverse proportion?

Work with these two equations.

y = k*x Never mind the k. Call it one or two or anything you like.
The point is that as x gets larger so will y. That's a direct proportion.

y = k/x This one is slight different and a little harder. Call k = 12
y = 12/x Now try a couple of values. Let x = 2
y = 12/2 = 6 Now let x = 4
y = 12/4 = 3

So (read this carefully) as x gets bigger, you gets smaller. That's an inverse relationship.

Mac's age is 3 years less than twice Joe's age. The sum of their ages is 30. Find their ages.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Mac is 19 years old, Joe is 11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

2J - 3 = M

J + M = 30

M = 30 - J

2J - 3 = 30 - J

3J = 33

J = 11

M = 30 - 11

M = 19

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 35 cm if the length of a the congruent sides is 3 times the length of the third side what
Dimas [21]

Let the length of the shortest side = x

The two longer sides that are equal = 3x

The are two equal longer sides, so their total is 3x + 3x = 6x

3x+ 3x + x= 35  Collect like terms on the left

7x = 35               Divide by 7  on both sides

x = 35/7

x = 5

Answer

Two long sides -- 15 cm each

Shortest side -- 5 cm
