Answer:

r = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can plug in a pair of x and y values and solve for r.

y = rx | Plug in a pair

42 = r*6 | Now divide both sides by 6

7 = r.

We can test this by plugging in r with a pair.

y = (7)x

77 = 7*11, 77 = 77, This equation is correct.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The constant of proportionality r in the equation is:

                       r = 7

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that for the equation of the type:

                y=rx

The constant of proportionality is given by the equation:

 r=\dfrac{y}{x}

i.e. it is the ratio of the output to the input values.

Here we have a table of values as follows:

      x        y

      2       14

      6       42

      11      77

Hence, with the help of any one set of value we will get the value of r.

We take the set (2,14)

i.e.

r=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\r=7

What is the benefit of dividing out greatest common factors (GCFs) before multiplying?
Nina [5.8K]
Lets get an example, for this example lets use 24/30 x 30/60
Without dividing out GCFs  you would get 24x12 over 30 x 60 which is 288/1800
With dividing out GCFs you get 2/1 x 5/1 Which is 7 :)

Please help! Please explain how to do this, I am so lost.

Ok, so we know that RST is equal to 6x+12
And RST is also equal to 78 + 3x-12
so we set them equal to each other

6x + 12 = 3x - 12 + 78
And simplify
3x = 54
x = 18

Finally, we solve for the angle with 18 for x

6(18) + 12
108 + 12
120

Hope this helps
