Answer: 52 minutes, 416 links

Step-by-step explanation:

8*20=160

13-8=5

160/5=32

32+20=52

52*8=416

Answer:

Emmanuel had worked for 52 minutes and had added 416 links.

(Khan Academy)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use t to represent the number of minutes Emmanuel had worked and l to represent the number of links added to the chain mail.

We have two unknown values, so we can create and solve a system of two equations that represent this context.

Modeling the context:

Emmanuel added 8 links a minute, so for Emmanuel:

l=8t

Allesia worked for 20 minutes less than Emmanuel did, so she worked t-20. Allesia added 13 links a minute, so for Allesia:

l=13(t-20)

Now we have the following system of equations to represent our situation:

l=8t

l=13(t-20)

Solving for t by substituting

Let's substitute the value of l from the second equation into the first equation.

l=8t

13(t-20)=8t

13t-260=8t

5t-260=0

5t=260

t=52

Allesia catches up to Emmanuel after Emmanuel had worked 52 minutes.

Solving for l by substituting

We have one unknown left. Let's substitute the value we got for  t back into one of the equations to solve for l.

l=8t

l=8(52)

l=416

Emmanuel had added 416 links.

Emmanuel had worked for 52 minutes and had added 416 links.

If 97 of 200 is 100% then how much of 200 is 112%
pickupchik [31]
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 112 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 112 is 100%, so we can write it down as 112=100%.
4. We know, that x is 200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 112=100%
2) x=200%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
112/x=100%/200%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 200% of 112

112/x=100/200
(112/x)*x=(100/200)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
112=0.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5) to get x
112/0.5=x
224=x
x=224

now we have:
200% of 112=224

If y varies directly as x and y-21 when x<br> is 7, find x when y = -5.
klasskru [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies directly as x:

\therefore \: y = kx..(1) \\ (k = constant \: of \: proportionality) \\ at \: y = 21 \: and \: x = 7 \\ 21 = k \times 7 \\ k =  \frac{21}{7}  = 3 \\ plugging \: k = 3 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ y = 3x..(2) \\ plugging \:  \: y =  - 5  \: in \: (2)\\  - 5 = 3x \\ x =  \frac{ - 5}{3}  \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \huge \red{ \boxed{x =  -  \frac{5}{3} }}
