Answer:  -3/10

Step-by-step explanation: A positive and a negative will subtract.

1. Find the common denominator (8/10)

2. simce 8/10 is greater than 1/2 you need to add a negative to get 8/10 a lower value

3. subtract 5/10 or 1/2 from 8/10 to figure out what gives you the correct answer

Suppose that y varies directly with x and y=10 when x=20. What is y when x=15
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

y=kx

subst y=10 and x=20 into the above

<em>1</em><em>0</em><em>=</em><em>k20</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>0</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em>

<em>therefore</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>x</em>

<em>subst</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em>

<em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em>

Step by step explanation:

  • Step 1: when they say y varies directly with x they mean<em> y is proportional to x</em>
  • step 2: so y=kx where <em>k is the constant</em>
  • step 3: is to substitute <em>y=10</em> and <em>x=20</em> into the above equation y=kx
  • step 4: you will end up with <em>10=k20</em> then divide both sides by 20 so that <em>k becomes the subject of the formula </em>
  • step 5: your answer from the above will be <em>k=10/20 </em>so the relationship is <em>y is directly proportional to 1/2 x </em>what you did here is that you substituted k for 1/2 in the equation in step 3
  • step 6: is to finally substitute x=15 into the equation <em>y=1/2x</em> to finally get your answer <em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em><em>.</em>

Answer:

a =7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+ b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + 10 ^2 = 12.5^2

a^2 + 100  =156.25

Subtract 100 from each side

a^2 = 56.25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt( 56.25)

a =7.5

There was a country concert held at the park. For every 3 men there were 5 women that went to the concert. If 30 more women atte
8090 [49]

Answer:

3m == 5w, that means for such unit, there is a 2 person difference

30 person difference = 30/2 = 15units

and again one unit means 3m and 5w

so 15*3men, and 15*5women

and you can check the difference is 30

Solve for y. 2/3+y−1/9=7/9 Enter your answer in the box 
Novosadov [1.4K]
Adding 1/9 to both sides, we get 2/3+y=8/9. Next, 2/3 can be multiplied by 3/3 to get 6/9 due to that 3*3=9 and using the identity property. We then subtract 6/9 from both sides to get y=2/9
