Answer: y = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that y varies directly with x
That is, y∝x
Convert y∝x to a full equation by introducing a constant k to the right hand side.
Therefore, y = kx
Given that y = 10 and x = 20
Substitute y and x in the equation above. We have;
10 = k(20)
10 = 20k
20k = 10
k = 10/20
k = 0.5
Since k = 0.5, the equation y = kx becomes y = 0.5x
Now, to find y if x = 15, substitute x in equation y = 0.5x
Therefore, y = 0.5(15)
y = 7.5

"When the storm began", it means it has been snowed for 0 hours, so n=0.
f(0)=2.5, thus the <span>depth of snow was 2.5 inches when the storm began.
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.8, so f(n+1)-f(n)=0.8
it means when the time increases by one hour, the depth of snow increases by 0.8 inches.</span>
Hi!
We are given the information found in the picture below.
Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.
The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.
To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where
and
are 2 legs of the triangle, and
is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:

We know
and
and want 



Therefore,
is approximately 
cost of pencil = x = 0.07
and cost of eraser = y = 0.03
Step-by-step explanation:
let cost of pencil = x
and cost of eraser = y
So, we have equations:

Solving both equations to find value of x and y
Let:

Multiply eq(1) with 4 and eq(2) with 3 and subtract

Putting value of x in equation 1:

So, x= 0.07 and y = 0.03
cost of pencil = x = 0.07
and cost of eraser = y = 0.03
