Answer:

$v=\frac{19}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{5}(v-7)=2$

WE need to find the value of v. solve for v

We have fraction on the left side of the equation. To remove the fraction , flip the fraction and multiply it on both sides

$\frac{4}{5}(v-7)=2$

$(v-7)=2 \cdot \frac{5}{4}$

$v-7=\frac{5}{2}$

To get 'v' alone, we add 7 on both sides

$v=\frac{5}{2}+7$

$v=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{14}(2}$

$v=\frac{19}{2}$

4/5(v - 7) = 2...distribute the 4/5 thru the parenthesis
4/5v - 28/5 = 2 ...multiply everything by 5
4v - 28 = 10...add 28 to both sides
4v = 10 + 28
4v = 38
v = 38/4 reduces to 19/2 or 9 1/2 <==

For a direct variation describe how the constant of variation affects whether y increases or decreases as x increases

Goryan [66]

Direct variation is of the form: y=kx (inverse variation is of the form y=k/x)

Assuming that k is positive :)

y increases as x increases and y decreases as x decreases. There is a direct ratio that is described by k. k=y/x.

Briony invests some money. Interest is paid on the money at a rate of 2% per annum for the first year and 1% per annum for the s

nalin [4]

Answer:

Brionny invested £8400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

$T = E + P$

In this question:

We divide in two intervals, the first year and the second year. We have to know that the amount after the end of the first year is the principal at the start of the second year.

First year:

Amount of 2% interest, during 1 year.

So the interest earned is:

$E = P*I*t = P*0.02*1 = 0.02P$
