Answer:

He needs 1 more fish tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 / 3 = X    (X equals the number of fish tanks he needs)

2 + 3 = 5 fish tanks

5 x 3 = 15 fish

18 -15 = 3

Since 5 fish tanks can hold 15 fish he will need 6 fish tanks to hold his 18 fish.  He will need 1 more fish tank.

If y varies directly as x, and y is 48 when x is 6, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 2?
sertanlavr [38]

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x they are directly proportional, which means they relate to each other in the same way....

2 : y = 6: 48

what is y if x = 2?

The value of y can be found if you write it a two fracrions

2 : y = 6 : 48

2 / y = 6 / 48

cross multiply the fractions gives

6*y = 48 *2

divide left and right of the = sign by 6 gives the answer:

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Other method:

multiply left and right of the = sign by y

2 * y/y = y *6 / 48

6y / 48 = 2 * 1

multiply left and right of the = sign by 48

6y * 48/48 = ( 48 *2 )

6y = ( 48 *2 )

divide left and right of the = sign by 6

6/6* y = ( 48 *2 )/6

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

How do you factor this in the form (x+b)(x+c)
faust18 [17]
So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!
