Answer:
The ratio for crayons to school supplies is 8:12
Answer:
y = 2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
If y varies inversely as x, it means there's an inverse relationship between y and x, that is if x is increasing, y is decreasing and vice versa. In such instance, we have to find the constant of proportionality "k"
Hence,
y~1/x
y=k/x
When y =-6 and x =-2, we insert these values to find the value of the constant "k"
-6 = k/-2
k = 12.
Using this value of k to determine value of y when x =5 becomes:
y = 12/5
y = 2.4
Each shirt costs 8 dollars.
4 Shirts 1 Pant
1 Pant=20 dollars
52 (total)-20=32
4shirts divides by 32= 8
So 8 dollars per shirt
here,
2x-6y= -12
2(x-3y)= -12
x-3y = -6...........eq1
x+2y=14............eq2
we can subtract the above two given equations
we get,
___________
so,
y=4
now to find the value of x we have to substitute the value of y in any of the above two equations, I choose eq2
we get,
<h3>so,</h3><h3> x=6,y=4</h3>
