Maybe i have that you wanted We can represent the situation like that: Y=-15 and x=-20 Then When y=12 x=? We make x(The unknown) *-15=12*(-20) We have an simple équation to solve Thus x=(12*(-20))/-15 X=16

X1= -20
x2= x2
y1= -15
y2= 12

x1  : x2 ::  y1 : y2
-20 : x   :: -15: 12

Means = x and -15
Extremes= -20 and 12

<span>Product of mean = Product of extremes
</span>       -15x = -20*12
            x = -240/-15
            x2 = 16

(x-5)1/2+5=2<br> (x-5)1/2=-3<br> [(x-5)^1/2]^2=(-3)^2
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to solve for x, right?

(x-5)^(1/2)+5=2

You have it right so far.

(x - 5)^(1/2) = -3

(x - 5)  =  (-3)^2

x - 5 = 9

x = 9 + 5 = 14

If y varies directly as x, and y = 25 when x = 5, find y when x = 25.

A.125
Because to get from 5 to 25 you need to multiply by 5 so 25 times five equals 125

Find the slope of the line that contains<br> the points (6, 8) and (2, 1).
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

7/4 or 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a linear function, you can use the slope formula of change in y-values divided by change in x-values. Take your y-values (8 - 1), which is seven. Then take your x-values (6-2), which is equal to 4. Then your slope is just 7/4 or 1.75.
