we are given the equation 3y = -7x - 18 and is asked whether y is directly proportional to x and if it is, we find the constant of variation. In this case, we simplify the equation into y = -7/3 x -6. In this case, we can see that y is proportional to x with a constant of proportionality of -7/3

32. The length of a rectangle measures six more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 38.

Answer: 12.5

You start with the equations "2x +2y=38" and "6+x=y". By adding and subtracting in the second equation, you get "2x +2y=38" and "x-y=-6". When you multiply the second equation by 2, you get "2x-2y=-12."

subtracting the equations "2x +2y=38" and "2x-2y=-12" gets you to "4y=50", where you have to divide two sides by 4 and get "y=12.5"

How would you solve 7x + 2(x+5) < 3x-14

Daniel [21]

So first you want to start in the parentheses
x+5
so what you do is 2 times x which is 2x
2 times 5 which is ten
7x+10x <3x-14
-10× - 10x

-3x
