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>

75(1+0.2/12)^10*12 what is the answer
Alchen [17]

Answer:

545.119

Step-by-step explanation:

75 * (1 + .2/12)^10 * 12

75 * (1.016667)^10*12

Now things get a little tricky. What does 10*12 mean? I'm taking it to mean 120

75 * (1.016667)^120

75 * 7.268
