There is a few ways to do this but I am going to use the variation equation.

Variation Equation:
y = kx
First we need to find k, which is the constant of variation
5 = k50
5/50 = k
1/10 = k
k= 1/10

Now that we have found the constant of variation, we can find how much the spring will stretch with 170 pounds.
y = kx
y = (1/10) times 170 = 17 inches

Evalute the experssion -280+12x=
Alina [70]
The answer is 23 1/3. First, you need to add 280 to both sides of the equations in order cancel out 280 and get 12x by itself. But remember whatever you do to one side of an equation, you must to do the other. So now you have 12x=280. Now divide both sides of the equation by 12 in order to get x completely isolated. 280 divided by twelve is 23 1/3.

22/7 x 3 (3+4)

22/7*3 (7)

22 x 3 ( as 7 that was divided by 22 was cut out with 7 in the bracket)

hence,
