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

Help? pls?? I've got the first part, just need a lil help

Find the time it will take:

195 miles / 50 miles per hour = 3.9 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes:

0.9 hours x 60 = 54 minutes.

3.9 hours = 3 hours and 54 minutes.

Add 3 hours and 54 minutes to the time it leaves:

3:30 pm + 3 hours = 6:30 PM

6:30 + 54 minutes = 7:24 PM

Answer:

'16' is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, 6=x+2  divided by 3. In this case, we can multiply 6 and 3 which makes

18 = x+2. We substract 2 from 18 and the answer is 16. If you don't understand anything, you can  ask by  leaving a comment below. Thanks.
