Suppose that Y varies directly with X andY equals 12 when X equals -2 what is X when Y equals -6

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation equation has the following format:

y=kx

Where k is a constant.

We know that y is 12 when x is -2. Thus, substitute:

12=-2k

Divide both sides by -2:

k=-6

So, our direct variation equations is:

y=-6x

To find what x is when y equals -6, substitute in -6 for y:

-6=-6x

Divide both sides by -6:

x=1

So, our answer is 1 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the earth's oceans is approximately 1.34\cdot 10^{9}1.34⋅10

To simplify, we will use the product of powers property of exponents that says that x^a\cdot x^b = x^{a+b}x

x, start superscript, a, end superscript, dot, x, start superscript, b, end superscript, equals, x, start superscript, a, plus, b, end superscript.

\qquad 1.34\cdot 10^{9}\,\cancel{\text{km}^3} \cdot 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\cancel{\text{km}^3}} = 1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}1.34⋅10

Hint #2

Next we want to know what portion of the earth's mass this represents. We have:

\qquad \begin{aligned} \dfrac{\text{mass of the oceans}}{\text{total mass of the earth}} &= \dfrac{1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}}{6\cdot 10^{24}\,\text{kg}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6\cdot 10^{3}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6000} \\\\ &= 0.0002300\overline{3} \end{aligned}

total mass of the earth

​

To convert this to a percent, we multiply by 100100100, so the oceans represent 0.02300\overline{3}\%0.02300

Hint #3

To the nearest hundredth of a percent, 0.020.020, point, 02 percent of the earth's mass is from oceans.
