Answer:

-8 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

"y varies directly as x" translates into y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

We are told that when x = 16, y = 4.  Thus, 4 = k(16), and k = 1/4.

Then y = (1/4)x.

If y = -2, what is x?    -2 = (1/4)x.

Multiplying both sides by 4 eliminates the fraction:

-8 = x

Will demand curves have the same exact shape in all markets? If not, how will they differ? What does an upward-sloping supply cu
gregori [183]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Demand curves will differ as some markets will have a flat demand curve where there is perfect competition. This is when there are too many competitors selling homogenous goods. Generally the demand curve slopes downwards as price increases of a product but it all depends on the type of goods also being sold so this is what causes the differences.

An upward-sloping supply curve means that there is a relationship between the price at which a product is given and the quantity demanded by customers. Sellers in that market will likely react by also pricing their goods around same price as the market or slightly lower to gain a few customers who would be interested in lower prices, but they also would not want to do this too much as they can lose out on profits that the market is making.

If 3t-7=5t, then 6t=?<br><br> Explain how you got your answer!
kirill [66]

Answer:

6t = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

3t-7 = 5t simplifies by subtracting 5t on both sides, then adding 7 on both sides:

3t -5t  -7 +7 = 5t-5t+7

-2t = 7

t = -7/2

Then 6t = 6*-7/2 = -21
