Answer:

r = $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x and y are proportional and

y = rx ← r is the constant of proportionality

To find r use any ordered pair from the table

Using x = 15, y = 3, then

r = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{3}{15}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer:

x=4y-12

x+12=4y

x/4+12/4=y

y=x/4+3

therefore f^-1(x)=1/4x+3

Solve |2x - 1| + 3 = 6.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

x =2 x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 1| + 3 = 6.

Subtract 3 from each side

|2x - 1| + 3-3 = 6-3

|2x - 1|= 3

An absolute value has two solutions, one positive and one negative

2x-1 =3 2x -1 = -3

Add 1 to all sides

2x-1+1 =3+1 2x-1+1 = -3+1

2x = 4 2x =-2

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 4/2 2x/2 = -2/2

x =2 x = -1

The length of a rectangle is 4 feet longer than twice the width of the same rectangle. if the perimiter of the rectangle is 68 f

Pepsi [2]

Length (L): 2w + 4

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

68 = 2(2w + 4) + 2(w)

68 = 4w + 8 + 2w

68 = 6w + 8

60 = 6w

10 = w

Length (L): 2w + 4 = 2(10) + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24

Answer: width = 10 feet, length = 24 feet
