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!

Charles is 20% heavier than Edith. If Charles weighs 60kg, what is Edith's weight?​
ddd [48]

Charles' weight = Edith's weight + 20% of Edith's weight

We'll use a variable to represent Edith's weight, x.

The decimal form of 20% is 0.2.

60 = x + 0.2x

60 = 1.2x

x = 50

Edith's weight is 50kg.

Hope this helps!

HELP PLEASE ASAP!!!!
vodomira [7]

Answer:

I may be wrong, but I learned that the first slot would be "terms". 4:3 would be an example of a ratio so it couldn't be ratio and a difference is subtracting.

The second slot would not be a geometric sequence because it is not correctly placed on the number line.

Therefore, the answers would be "terms" and "is not"

Look at this inequality: 12−4x ≤ 20
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: The last line is the answer

12 - 4x <u><</u> 20

20 - 12 = 8

-4x = 8

-4/4 = 8/-4

x = -2

New inequality: x <u>></u> -2
