ANSWER

The correct choice is B.

EXPLANATION

If 'a' varies directly as 'b' then we write the equation of variation,

a = kb

Where k is the constant of variation.

We have that a = 28 when b = 7.

This implies that,

28= 7k

k = 4

The equation now becomes

a = 4b

When we a=5, we have

5 = 4b

b =  \frac{5}{4}

The correct answer is B

Answer: Option B.

b=\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a varies directly with b then when a increases b it also increases by a factor k.

Then we can write that

a = kb

We know that when a = 28 then b = 7. So

28 = k * 7

k=\frac{28}{7}

k=4

Therefore the equation of proportionality is:

a=4b

So when a=5  then:

5=4b\\\\b=\frac{5}{4}

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your system of equations is ...

  • 2x - y = -1
  • 2x -4y = 8

You can subtract the second equation from the first to get

... (2x -y) -(2x -4y) = (-1) -(8)

... 3y = -9 . . . . . collect terms

... y = -3 . . . . . . divide by 3 . . . . this is sufficient to identify the correct answer

Substituting into the first equation, we have ...

... 2x -(-3) = -1

... 2x = -4 . . . . . add -3

... x = -2 . . . . . . .divide by 2

Now, we're sure the answer is (x, y) = (-2, -3).
