Answer:

The answer to your question is: One has saved $35 and the other $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

2 brothers

combined savings = $55

One brother has $15 more than the other

x = savings of one brother

y = savings of the other brother

- Process

Write an equation or two equations and solve it for x and y

(1) x + y = 55

(2) x = y + 15 Solve this system by substitution (2) in (1)

y + 15 + y = 55

2y = 55 - 15

2y = 40

y = 40/2

y = $ 20

x = 20 + 15

x = $ 35

Answer:

Part 1) see the explanation

Part 2) see the explanation

Part 3) see the explanation

Part 4) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

Read the situations and do the following with each one:

Write down the magnitudes involved

Write which magnitude is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable

It represents the function that describes the situation

SITUATIONS:

1) A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes.

2) An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

3) A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

4) 10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Part 1) we have

A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes

Let

x ----> the time in minutes (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of pages that the machine print (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=840\ pages\\x=30\ minutes$

substitute

$k=\frac{840}{30}=28\ pages/minute$

The linear equation is

$y=28x$

Part 2) we have

An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

Let

x ----> the time in seconds (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of floors (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=2\ floors\\x=6\ seconds$

substitute

$k=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\ floors/second$

The linear equation is

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$

Part 3) we have

A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

Let

x ----> the number of days (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost of rent a car (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=\$480\\x=12\ days$

substitute

$k=\frac{480}{12}=\$40\ per\ day$

The linear equation is

$y=40x$

Part 4) we have

10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Let

x ----> the kilograms of papaya (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=\$35\\x=10\ kg$

substitute

$k=\frac{35}{10}=\$3.5\ per\ kg$

The linear equation is

$y=3.5x$

The formula for the area of a circle is A =pie r 2. Classify the area of a circle with a radius of 0.75 centimeters as either ra

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

It is irrational.

A = π r^2 = π[3/4 cm]^2 = 9π/16 cm^2

An irrational number (Pi in this case) multiplied by a rational number (9/4) gives an irrational number.
