How do I solve 8/3=(y-9)/(7y+4)

Mathematics

zhuklara [117]3 years ago

Equation

\dfrac{8}{3} = \dfrac{y - 9}{7y + 4} Cross Multiply

Solve

8 * (7y + 4) = 3*(y - 9) Remove the brackets

56y + 32 = 3y - 27 Subtract 3y from both sides.

56y - 3y + 32 = - 27

53y + 32 = -27 Subtract 32 from both sides.

53y = -32 - 27

53y = - 59 Divide by 53

y = - 59/53

y = - 1.113

Check

8/3 = (-1.113 - 9)/(7*-1.113 + 4)

8/3 = -10.113 / (- 7.791 + 4 )

8/3 = -10.113 / -3.791

8/3 = 2.667 which very nearly right. Some rounding has taken place.

AfilCa [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  65.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is essentially asking the ratio of the volumes.

  Va = πr²h = π(15²)(20)

  Vb = πr²h = π(19²)(19)

The ratio of volumes is ...

  Va/Vb = π(15²)(20)/(π(19³)) = (15²)(20)/19³ ≈ 0.65607

Container B will be about 65.6% full when container A is empty.

Juanita borrowed $600 to purchase a new computer. She was charged 7% interest for two years. She used the simple interest formul
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The correct formula should be I= 600(0.07)(2). Juanita made a very common error, she didn't put the percentage of interest in decimal form; or she didn't put the percent sign on it so we know to put it in decimal form. Her error will make a big difference; with using her calculations the answer would be $8,400. With the correct formula the answer is $84.

Compute the slope of the line intersecting the points (1, 2) and (3, 8). *
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 8)

m = \frac{8-2}{3-1} = \frac{6}{2} = 3

The first and third quartiles
aalyn [17]
1.  You'll need to download this data, or copy it down by hand.
2.  Rearrange the data from lowest to highest values.
3.  You have 24 data points (an even number). 
       In this case, to find the 1st quadrant, take the left half (that is, the left 12) data points.  Since 12 is an even number, you must find the average of the middle two of these 12 data points.  Your result is the 1st quadrant.
      To find the 3rd quadrant, find the middle two data points of the right-hand 12 data points.  Average these two points.  The result is the 3rd quadrant.
