Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the correct equation. Combined variation problems are solved using a combination of direct variation (y = kx), inverse variation Inverse, and joint variation (y = kxz) equations. When dealing with word problems, you should consider using variables other than x, y, and z, you should use variables that are relevant to the problem being solved. Also read the problem carefully to determine if there are any other changes in the combined variation equation, such as squares, cubes, or square roots.

Step 2: Use the information given in the problem to find the value of k, called the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality.

Step 3: Rewrite the equation from step 1 substituting in the value of k found in step 2.

Step 4: Use the equation found in step 3 and the remaining information given in the problem to answer the question asked. When solving word problems, remember to include units in your final answer.

Example 1 – If y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y = 24 when x = 48 and z = 4, find x when y = 44 and z = 6.

Step 1: Write the correct equation. Combined variation problems are solved using a combination of variation equations. In this case we will combine the direct and inverse variation equations.  

Step 1

Step 2: Use the information given in the problem to find the value of k. In this case, you need to find k when x = 48, y = 24, and z = 4.  

Step 2

Step 3: Rewrite the equation from step 1 substituting in the value of k found in step 2.  

Step 3

Step 4: Use the equation found in step 3 and the remaining information given in the problem to answer the question asked. In this case, you need to find x when y = 44 and z = 6.  

Step 4

Example 2 – If f varies directly as g and inversely as the square of h, and f = 20 when g = 50 and h = 5, find f when g = 18 and h = 6.

RS = 4x – 9, ST = 19, RT = 80 – 14<br><br> Equation:<br><br> 82 – 14<br><br> RS<br><br> RT
algol13

Step-by-step explanation:

The expressions are not properly written

Given

RS = 4x – 9

ST = 19

RT = 8x – 14

Based on the given parameters, the addition postulate below is true

RS+ST = RT

Substitute

4x-9+19 = 8x-14

collect like terms

4x-8x = -14-19+9

-4x = -33+9

-4x = -24

x = -24/-4

x = 6

Get RS:

RS = 4x-9

RS = 4(6)- 9

RS = 24-9

RS = 15

Get RT:

RT = 8x - 14

RT = 8(6)-14

RT = 48-14

RT = 34

mrs peters bought 7 1/2 yards of fabric she needs another 4 7/8 yards how many yards of fabric does she need altogether
Nataliya [291]
7 1/2 = 15/2 = 60/8
4 7/8 = 39/8

60/8 + 39/8 = 99/8 = 12 3/8 yards

Guided Practice
elena-s [515]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability of heads is

P( heads) = 28/50 = 14/25

The theoretical probability is

P (heads) =1/2

Getting a common denominator for the experimental

25/50

comparing the experimental and the theoretical

28/50 > 25/50

experimental > theoretical

Louise cleaned for 4 and one-half hours and charged ​$27. At the same hourly​ rate, what would she charge for 6 and one-half hou
grin007 [14]

Answer: 39$

Step-by-step explanation: 4 hrs and 30 mins and you make 27$

You gotta make the hrs into minutes. So you can find the rate. 4 hrs is 240 minutes. With the 30 minutes its a total of 270 minutes. You're earning 1 dollar every 10 minutes. So i think if i did the math right 390 minutes is 6 hrs and 30 mins. And so she has earned 39$.
