Use timeline and work from NOW
me. mom
(1) @born 0. 27
My mum was 27 when I was born.
(2) now-8. x-8. y-8
(3) now. x y
(4) now+5. x+5. y+5

(1)&(3). y-x = 27-0 = 27

8 years ago she was twice as old as I shall be in 5 years time.
(2)&(4). y-8 = 2(x+5)

2 variables 2 equations ... solve x
x = 9, y = 36

2=7(−2)+4 what is y?

solmaris [256]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

y would be the first number in the equation on the left side of the equal sign. This looks lik the y=mx+b formula, so m, being slope, would be 7, -3 would be x, and b would be 4.

X and y vary inversely and x=50 when y=5 find y when x=10 what is k?

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Part A)

1) $k=250$

2) $y=25$

Part B)

1) $k=7$

2) $y=84$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) x and y vary inversely and x=50 when y=5 find y when x=10 what is k?

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form $y*x=k$ or $y=k/x$

step 1

<u>Find the value of k</u>

x=50 when y=5

substitute the values

$y*x=k$ ------> $5*50=k$ -----> $k=250$

The equation is equal to

$y*x=250$ or $y=250/x$

step 2

<u>Find y when x=10</u>

substitute the value of x in the equation and solve for y

$y*(10)=250$

$y=250/10=25$

Part B) x and y vary directly and x=6 when y=42 find k what is y when x=12

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

step 1

<u>Find the value of k</u>

x=6 when y=42

substitute the values

$y/x=k$ ------> $42/6=k$ -----> $k=7$

The equation is equal to

$y/x=7$ or $y=7x$

step 2

<u>Find y when x=12</u>

substitute the value of x in the equation and solve for y

$y=7(12)=84$

Determine the base of right triangle by using pythagoras theorem.

$\begin{gathered} b=\sqrt[]{(15.7)^2-(8.5)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{174.24} \\ =13.2 \end{gathered}$

Determine the area of base of figure.

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot13.2\cdot8.5 \\ =56.1 \end{gathered}$

Determine the volume of the figure.

$\begin{gathered} V=A\cdot6.2 \\ =56.1\cdot6.2 \\ =347.82 \end{gathered}$

So volume of the figure is 347.82 yards square.
