Hey there! Thanks for asking your question here on Brainly!

For this sort of problem, we'll use the equation y = k/x, which is for inverse variations. First, we'll need to solve for k.


4 = k/12

k = 48


Next, we'll need to plug k into our equation from the beginning, as well as 3 for x in order to solve for y.


y = 48/x

y = 48/3

y = 16


Therefore, your answer is y = 16.


Hope this helps!! :)

dezoksy [38]
Let x be the number of movies rented 
Let y be the number of video games rented 

(5x+2y=26)4
- 3x+8y=53 

 20x+8y=104 
-3x+8y=53
-----------------
17x       =51 
x=51/17 
x=3 

5x+2y=26 
5(3)+2y=26 
2y=26-15 
y=11/2 
y=5.5 

Therefore, the movies cost $3 and the video games cost $5.5 

Hope I helped :)

Let's set up an inequality. t will equal the amount of hours.

123.80 [greater than or equal to] 47 + 9.60t

After isolating t, your answer is t less than or equal to 8. So they can rent the meeting room for at most 8 hours.

The function C(x)=−15x+2304 represents the cost to produce x items. What is the least number of items that can be produced so th
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

152

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

C(x)=−15x+2304

The least Number of items, x that can be produced so that average cost does not exceed $33

C(x) = less than or equal to 33

33 = - 15x + 2304

33 - 2304 = - 15x

-2271 = - 15x

x = 2271 / 15

x = 151. 4

Hence, the least number of items that can be produced is 152
