The quantity y varies directly as x and inversely as z. When x is 10 and z is 4, y is 15. What is y when x is 20 and z is 6?

1 answer:

8 0

Y=(kx)/z

15=(k10)/4
15=(5k/2)
15=k(5/2)
ties both sides by 2/5 to clear fraction
6=k

y=(6x)/z

x=20
z=6
y=(6*20)/6
y=20

Plot point C(2,7). If M is the midpoint of CD , what are the coordinates of D?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of D is (-4,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

C = (2,7)

M=(-1,-1) ----- Missing part of question

Required

Determine the coordinates of D

Let the coordinates of D be (x₂,y₂)

We'll solve this question using mid point formula;

$M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Where

$C(x_1,y_1) = (2,7)$ and $M(x,y) = (-1,-1)$

Put these values in the formula

$(-1,-1) = (\frac{2+x_2}{2},\frac{7+y_2}{2})$

By comparison;

$-1 = \frac{2+x_2}{2}$ and $-1 = \frac{7+y_2}{2}$

$-1 = \frac{2+x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$-2 = 2 + x_2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$-2 -2 = x_2$

$x_2 = -4$

$-1 = \frac{7+y_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$-2 = 7 + y_2$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$-2 - 7 = y_2$

$y_2 = -9$

Hence, the coordinates of D is (-4,-9)

Find three numbers such that their sum is 12, the sum of the first, twice the second, and three times the third is 31, and the s

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

a = 3, b = -1, c = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be a, b and c.

Equation 1: a + b + c = 12

Equation 2: a + 2b + 3c = 31

Equation 3: 9b + c = 1

Equation 2 - Equation 1:

Equation 4: b + 2c = 19

Equation 3 times by the number 2

Equation 5: 18b + 2c = 2

Equation 5 - Equation 4

17b = -17

b = -1

Substitute into Equation 4:

2c - 1 = 19

2c = 20

c = 10

Substitute into Equation 1:

a + b + c = 12

a - 1 + 10 = 12

a = 3

an art teacher has 1 1/2 pounds of red clay and 3/4 pound of yellow clay.The teacher mixes the red clay and yellow clay together

Nataly [62]

Well, seeing as how she mixed the clay, she has a total of 2 2/8 pounds clay (unsimplified). Although we don't know how many students she has in one class, with simple division of this number we can figure out how many student can finish the project. Removing the 2/8, we can already tell 2 students can do it, so that's a start. Now to divide the 2 pounds into 8ths. Each pound is enough for 8 students, so the 2 pounds totals to 16. Now add the extra 2 students, it's 18 total students. Hope I explained it well enough!
