Answer:
y = 2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
If y varies inversely as x, it means there's an inverse relationship between y and x, that is if x is increasing, y is decreasing and vice versa. In such instance, we have to find the constant of proportionality "k"
Hence,
y~1/x
y=k/x
When y =-6 and x =-2, we insert these values to find the value of the constant "k"
-6 = k/-2
k = 12.
Using this value of k to determine value of y when x =5 becomes:
y = 12/5
y = 2.4
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of sides be n
One exterior angle = 360/n
Exterior angle + interior angle = 180
Interior angle = 180 - Exterior angle
= 180 - 360/n
Sum of interior angle = n(180 - 360/n) = 3240
n(180 - 360/n) = 3240
180n - 360 = 3240
180n = 3240 - 360
= 3600
n = 3600/180
= 20
I have absolutely no clue how mile markers work, but assuming they mark a single mile each, his sister will either be five miles in front, or five miles behind him.
The possible answers are mile markers 8 and 18.
