In a proportional relationship, x and y will increase at the same rate. In order to find the value of x when y=4, we first have to find the ratio of x:y. We can do this by creating a fraction. After we know the ratio, simply replace the y value with 4 and solve for x. Here's the math:

y=15 when x=3       given values

y/x = 15/3 = 5          ratio of y to x

y=5x                        equation representing the proportional relationship 

4=5x                        replace y with 4

4/5=x                       divide both sides by 5 to isolate x

Answer: The value of x=4/5 when y=4.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

B. Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that x equals negative and y equals positive.

That means the fraction is negative multiplied by the 7y³ term, which is positive.

Negative times positive is negative, so B is our answer.

Answer:

a) A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd ​percentile.

b) A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd ​percentile.

c) A response of 4.4 represents the first ​quartile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 5.9

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2

We assume that the distribution of response is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.92

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.92

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 1.405\\x = 8.991 \approx 8.9

A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd ​percentile.

b) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.62

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.62

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 0.305\\x = 6.571 \approx 6.6

A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd ​percentile.

c) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.25

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.25

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = -0.674\\x = 4.4172 \approx 4.4

A response of 4.4 represents the first ​quartile.

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

4*x-9=2x+15

4x-9=2x+15

-2x    -2x

2x-9=15

2x=24

x=12
