<span>xy = k

solve for k...

(8) * (8/3) = (64/3) = k

y = k / x

when x = 4,

y = (64/3) * (1/4) = (16/3)

Hope this helps!

ExtremeBDS [4]

This one should have come before the other one. We apply the cone formula

$V = \frac 1 3 \pi r^2 h$

$V = \frac 1 3 \pi(15.5)^2 (18.6) \approx 4679.6 \textrm{ cubic meters}$

The ratio of the cost of a tennis racket ro tennis balls is 18:1. If a can of balls cost $5.35, what is the cost of the racket?

siniylev [52]

racket : balls = 18×$5.35 : 1×$5.35 = $96.30 : $5.35

The racket costs $96.30.

Subtract five from three times a number and the result is equal to the number plus five. find the number.

allsm [11]

3(x)-5=x+5
3x=-5+5+x
3x=x
0=x
because 3x=x is basically would make each part into 0 which would end up the same.
