Answer:

The answer is: 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

2 / 7 = y / 17.5

Cross multiply:

7y = 2 * 17.5

7y = 35

y = 35 / 7 = 5

Answer:

y = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportionality is : y = kx where k is a constant.

Finding k by substituting the given values of x and y:

2 = k * 7

k = 2/7.

So the equation is y = 2/7 x.

When x = 17.5:

y = 2/7 * 17.5

y = 5.

What is the slope of this line?

I think it’s -1 because with rise/run it goes down 2 and over 2 but the line is going down, so it’s negative.

Find the sum that amounts to Rs 9,144 in 3 years at 9% per year simple interest.

Hunter-Best [27]

Given:

Amount = Rs. 9,144

Time = 3 years.

Rate of simple interest = 9%

To find:

The principal value.

Solution:

The formula for simple interest is:

$I=\dfrac{P\times r\times t}{100}$

Where, P is principal, r is the simple rate of interest, and t is the number of years.

Putting $r=9,t=3$ in the above formula, we get

$I=\dfrac{P\times 9\times 3}{100}$

$I=\dfrac{27P}{100}$

$I=0.27P$

We know that,

$\text{Amount}=\text{Principal + Interest}$

$9144=P+0.27P$

$9144=1.27P$

Divide both sides by 1.27, we get

$\dfrac{9144}{1.27}=P$

$7200=P$

Therefore, the principal value is Rs. 7200.

Calculate the length of the unknown side of this right angled triangle

azamat

Answer:

12.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for the unknown side "c" we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem formula,

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

We already have a and b which are 8 and 9 so we plug them in.

$(8)^2 + (9)^2 = c^2$

64 + 81 = c^2

145 = c^2

c = 12.04 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Thus,

the unknown side is about 12.04.

Hope this helps :)
