We can let
   a = 1/(x-1)
   b = 1/(y+2)
and rewrite the equations as
   2a - b = 10
   a + 3b = -9
Using the first to write an expression for b, we get
   b = 2a - 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives
   a + 3(2a -10) = -9
   7a -30 = -9 . . . . . . . . simplify
   7a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . .add 30
   a = 3
   b = 2·3 - 10 = -4

Now, we can find x and y.
    3 = 1/(x -1)
    x - 1 = 1/3
    x = 1 1/3 = 4/3

    -4 = 1/(y +2)
    y +2 = -1/4
    y = -2 1/4 = -9/4

Then the desired sum is
    x + y = 4/3 -9/4 = (16 -27)/12
    x + y = -11/12

The appropriate choice is ..
   c. -11/12

Morgan is arranging a bowling party for his friends. The party room at the bowling alley is $35. The bowling alley offers a part
vlada-n [284]
Your inequality is (x being number of people):
175≥35+10x+3x

First, combine like terms so your new inequality is:
175≥35+13x
Then subtract 35 from both sides which makes it:
140≥13x
then divide 140 by 13 making it:
<span>10.769≥x
</span>But because you can't have .769 of a person the actual answer is 10
then you have to subtract 1 because he isn't including himself and there is the answer!:
9≥x

Given :-

  • y varies directly as x, and y=14 when x=4.

To Find :-

  • the value of y when x=9 .

Solution :-

<u>A</u><u>c</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>t</u><u>o</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

  • y = kx ( k is constant )

<u>When</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

  • 14 = k(4)
  • k = 14/4
  • k = 7/2

<u>W</u><u>h</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

The answer will be D) 75

To find this it’s easiest to find how many animals there are per percent. So to find this you simply have to divide 30 (the number of cats) by 40 (the percent that makes up) to find the number of animals per percent.

30/40

.75

Then you multiply this by 100 to find how many animals there are total.

.75(100)
