Suppose that y varies directly with x<br> and y = 10 when x = 20. What is y<br> when x = 15?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: y = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that y varies directly with x

That is, y∝x

Convert y∝x to a full equation by introducing a constant k to the right hand side.

Therefore, y = kx

Given that y = 10 and x = 20

Substitute y and x in the equation above. We have;

10 = k(20)

10 = 20k

20k = 10

k = 10/20

k = 0.5

Since k = 0.5, the equation y = kx becomes y = 0.5x

Now, to find y if x = 15, substitute x in equation y = 0.5x

Therefore, y = 0.5(15)

y = 7.5

Which of the following matrices is the solution matrix for the given system of equations? x + 5y = 11 x - y = 5
givi [52]
<h2>The required solution is x = 6 and y = 11 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

x+5y = 11 and x-y =5

A= \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right]                            X=\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]

and          B= \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]

∴AX=B

adj A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]

A= \left|\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right|=-6

∴A^{-1} =\frac{adj A}{|A|}

So,A^{-1} =\frac{ \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]}{-6}

A^{-1} ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c}  {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\  {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]}

X =A^{-1}\times B

⇒\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c}  {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\  {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]} \times \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]

⇒\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] ={ \left[\begin{array}{c}  {6}\\  {11} \end{array}\right]}

∴ x= 6 and y = 11

The required solution is x = 6 and y = 11
