5/35
Simplify by dividing both sides by 5
1/7
Final Answer: 1/7
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct variation is given by
y = kx where k is the constant of variation
-35 = k*7
-35/7 = k
-5 = k
y = -5x
We know y = -85
-85 = -5x
Divide each side by -5
-85/-5 = x
17 =x
The phrase that would complete the proof is this:
Angle 2 is equal to Angle 4.
Vertical angles are angles formed when two lines intersect each other. The angles that are opposite each other are equal by a series of supplementary, complementary, and transitive property proofs.
So 2.25 is 50% of the original price
let's write original price as x
50% of x = 2.25
0.5 * x = 2.25
divide both sides by 0.5
x = 4.5
The original price is 4.5
To check:
50% * (4.5) =?= 2.25
0.5 * 4.5 =?= 2.25
2.25 = 2.25
Hope this helps.
