X = 2
<span>y = 3 </span>
<span>2 + 3 = 5 </span>
<span>2³ + 3² = 17 </span>
<span>------------------- </span>
<span>BUT: </span>
<span>x + y = 5 </span>
<span>x^y + y^ x = 17 </span>
<span>y = 5 - x</span>
Parentheses first, 72-63 is 9 next multiply by 4 which is 36 the you’ll divide by 3 now you have 12 so multiply that by 6 and you get 72. Just a hint, another way to write that without using the multiply or the divided would be 6[4(72-63)/3] but either way you want is fine. Hope this helped :)
A) 2 units
B) yes
For A) |5-3|=|2|=2 is the distance from his house to school.
For B)
The distance from his house to school is 2 units; the distance from school to the grocery store is |3--9|=|12|=12. The total distance is 2+12 = 14.
The distance from his house to school is 2 units; the distance from school to the community center is |-4-6|=|-10|=10. The total distance is 2+10 = 12.
The distance from the house to the school to the grocery store is greater.
Since x and y are directly related, the equation for their comparison will look like
kx = y
where k is your constant. They give you an instance in the problem where x = 27 and y = 81. Plug this into the above equation and solve for k.
kx = y
k (27) = 81
k = 3
Thus, the constant of variation is 3.
