Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall a linear function, is a line on a graph made up of an infinite amount of points which satisfy the relationship. That means at x=3 there is a specific point on the line with an output. The value of a function at x=3 asks, what is the output y value for the input x value?
To find it, we locate 3 on the x-axis. We draw a vertical line directly to the line following the grid line. We mark the point on the line. We then draw a horizontal line directly to the y-axis following the grid line. The point we hit on the y-axis is the value of the function.
Here it is 4.
Answer:
-1 < c < 9
Step-by-step explanation:
-6<2c-4<14
Add 4 to all sides
-6+4<2c-4+4<14+4
-2<2c<18
Divide by 2
-2/2<2c/2<18/2
-1 < c < 9
I believe the answer is 75 I am not sure but I adds up because 4*.75 equals to 3 there is another way to solve this though we can do the is over of equals % over 100 then we still get three have a nice day and good luck on your assignment (:
