Since, in this case, we have 4 options then you just need to substitute each number.
A. y = 5/x
B. y = 14/x
C. y = 9/x
D. y = 3.5x
 
We know that x= 2 when y=7. So...
A. y = 5/x
    7=5/2
    7=2.5 
   This is false.

B. y = 14/x
    7= 14/2
    7=7
  This is right, So True.

C. y = 9/x
     7=9/2
     7=4.5
    False

D. y = 3.5x    7=3.5(2)
    7=7
  This one is also true.

In this case we look for definition.

he statement " <span>y </span>varies inversely as <span>x </span>means that when <span>x </span>increases, <span>y </span>decreases by the same factor. In other words, the expression <span>xy </span>is constant:
xy = k   

where k is the constant of variation.

We can also express the relationship between x and y as:

y =  k/x 

where k is the constant of variation.

A four-pack of 4242-ounce ink cartridges sells for $85.99$85.99. The expression 42c42c represents the amount of ink in a number
masya89 [10]
The variable cc refers to how much ink is in a certain number of cartridges. If the box says 42cc, that means the amount of ink in those particular cartridges is 42. If a box said 12cc, the amount would be 12. The variable cc just states the amount of ink you can expect from a particular amount of cartridges.

972-4=968 and 62-4=58
The highest common number between 968 and 58 is 2 so 968 in fractions is 484/2 and 58 is 29/2

If you multiply these two together you will get 14036/2

Cindy claims that 4x/12x= 1/3. Enter a whole number that supports Cindy's claim, and then enter a whole number that does not sup
galina1969 [7]
A whole number that would support Cindys claim would be 2 because if u do the ,math it would be 8/24 which would be .333 repeating which is simplify to 1/3 and i do not know a number that would not work.

Use cross products to demonstrate whether the two ratios are equivalent in this problem: 4 over 6 times 14 over 21
ExtremeBDS [4]
4/6 = 14/21 When using cross product always multiply the left fractions numerator times the right side fractions denominator and the left side fractions denominator times the right side fractions numerator 4×21 = 6×14 84=84 They are equivalent because they both equal 84
