In an inverse proportion two veriables are inversely proportional to each other.You can write the equation as P=n/x, and N is the constant of proportionality.In the equation the X increases and the P decreases.
The answer is 1x10^2 or just simply 10^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the left side:
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation:
2x - 20 = 4
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:
2x = 24
Divide each term by 2 and simplify:
x = 12
Let: x be Amy's marbles
3x be Robin's marbles
15+3x be Sam's marbles
x+3x+15+3x=99
7x+15=99
7x=99-15 (transfer 15 to the right side of the equation, then minus)
7x/7=84/7 (divide both sides of the equation by 7)
x=12
Now substitute:
x = 12 (Amy's)
3x = 3*12 = 36 (Robin's)
15+3x = 15+3*12 = 51 (Sam's)
12+36+51 = 99
Therefore, Amy has 12 marbles, Robin has 36 marbles and Sam has 51 marbles.
