If the x stands for multiplying then it will equal 7. take 7 divided by 8 and then multiply that by 8 and you get seven. did that help my dear?
<span>The
graph of y against x in inverse proportion is a rectangular hyperbola
but I don't see at all how this knowledge/observation is any help in
solving the problem.
Inverse proportion means that as x doubles y will halve and the equation
is xy = k where k is some number. A good example of inverse proportion
is speed and time taken over some fixed distance. In this case x could
represent the speed (mph) and y the time (h) and then k is the distance
in miles.
Since we know y=3 when x=2 we have xy = 6. Now it's easy to see when x=6 y=1.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=10
x=10-y
x=10-5
x=5
3y= -3x+30
3(10-y)= -3(10-y)+30
30-3y= -30+3y+30
30+30-30=6y
30=6y
y=5
The cheetah runs 2 meters/sec faster than the gazelle. Eventually the cheetah will overcome the gazelle. Since distance = rate times time, time = distance/rate.
Thus,
300 meters / (2 meters/sec) = 150 sec = 2 min 30 sec
I think the answer for your question is B
