Answer:

  117

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of stamps Derek had at first. After he gave 1/9 of his stamps to Ahmad, Ahmad had (d -104) +(d/9). Derek had 4 times this number after giving away d/9 stamps:

  (d -d/9) = 4((d -104) +d/9)

  (8/9)d = 4d -416 +(4/9)d

  416 = (32/9)d . . . . add 416 -8/9d

  117 = d . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 9/32

Derek had 117 stamps at first.

_____

<em>Check</em>

1/9 of Derek's collection is 13 stamps. 104 less than Derek's collection is 13 stamps.

So, Ahmad started with 13 stamps and was given 13 stamps by Derek. Meanwhile, Derek started with 117 stamps and gave away 13, so ended with 104 stamps. That number (104) is 4 times Ahmad's new number (26), as it should be.

Distribute (2m-5m)(-5)
Reika [66]

First Method (Distributive Property)

(2m - 5m) (-5)

Rearrange the equation to make it easier.

(-5) (2m - 5m)

In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).

-10m + 25m

15m

Second Method

(2m - 5m) (-5)

Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.

(-3m) (-5)

Multiply.

15m

15m is your answer. I hope this helps!

Answer:

1) 70 for both of them

2) Plot A's range is 100-50 = 50, Plot B's range is 100 - 40 = 60 so Plot A has the lesser range

3) Plot B's IQR is 85 - 60 = 25, Plot A's IQR is 80 - 65 = 15 so Plot B has the greater IQR

4) A: 80, B: 85

5) A: 65, B: 60

6) 50

7) 100

8) Plot B, see #2 for work

If x varies inversely as y, which statement is true?
grin007 [14]

Answer: The Inverse variation

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase “ y varies inversely as x” or “ y is inversely proportional to x” means that as x gets bigger, y gets smaller, or vice versa. This concept is translated in two ways. yx = k for some constant k, called the constant of proportionality.
