Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24                        / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200                              / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)

If the value of y varies directly with x and y=-1 when x=3, find y if x=9
steposvetlana [31]

1.If y varies directly with x

Introduce the constant term k

2.y=kx

where k is the constant term

substitute the value of x and y to form the law

-1=3k

k=-1\3

:y=-1\3x....is the law

To find the value of y when x is 9

Reinstate the law which is y=-1\3x and substitute the value of x to find y

y=-1\3*9

y=-3

During the first few years of a tree's life, its growth rate is linear. For example, an oak tree grows at a rate of 1.5 feet per
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Mostafa's maple tree grows at a slower yearly rate than an oak tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

An oak tree grows at a rate of 1.5 feet per year for twelve years;

After 12 year; the oak tree will be = 12 × 1.5 = 18 feet per year.

Now; we are being told that Mostafa plants a maple tree at his backyard and measures its height at 4 feet.

i.e x years  = 4 ft

two years later ; it height is now 6.5 ft

thus;

x year = 4 ft

x + 2 = 6.5 ft

6.5 * x = (x+2)4\\  \\ 6.5 x = 4x + 8\\ \\ 6.5x-4x = 8\\ \\ 2.5x = 8\\ \\ x = \dfrac{8}{2.5}\\ \\ x = 3.2

Thus ; Mostafa first measured the height of the tree when it is 4 ft at the age year of  3.2

So;

if 3.2 year = 4 ft

1 year = x

x  = \dfrac{4 *1 }{3.2}

x  = 1.25 ft

So if an oak tree grows at the rate of 1.5 ft in a year.

Then, Mostafa's maple tree grows at the rate of 1.25 ft in a year.

From the given information in the diagram attached below; we can infer that :

Mostafa's maple tree grows at a slower yearly rate than an oak tree.
