Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number
CK
8+15+62=85
85=85
Given:
Probability that your car will get stuck in the snow: 70%
Probability that you will require a tow truck when stuck in the snow is 90%.
Probability that you're stuck in the snow and need a tow truck.
70% x 90% = 63% 2nd option.
Round 296 up to 300 and then divide 300 by 4 mentally. Answer: 75. Which is a more reasonable partial quotient, 50 or 70?
Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:
x, x + 8
They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.
In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:
8(2x +8) = 240
2x + 8 = 30
2x = 22
x = 11.
Then:
- x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

Given function is a direct variation
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct proportion is defined as the increase in one quantity causes increase in other quantity.
If y is directly proportional to x, then it is given as:
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality
Given
y = 3x
Comparing the general form and given equation we see that both are same where k =3
So,
Given function is a direct variation
