Answer:

x > 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x + $\frac{1}{2}$ (2x + 4) > 12 ← distribute and simplify left side

4x + x + 2 > 12

5x + 2 > 12 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

5x > 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x > 2

If x varies inversely as y 2, and x = 2 when y = 20, find x when y = 5.

Dominik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

$x = \frac{k}{y}$

x varies inversely as y. This means that x is equal to the inverse of y which can be translated as x = 1/y but the problem said that x is not exactly equal to the inverse of y. Therefore, we need to introduce a factor k. Factor k will represent the word "varies" in the problem.
