Answer:

Yes, it is a proportional relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

5 text messages a boy sent or received = 7 text messages a girl sent or received,

⇒ 1 text message of a boy = \frac{7}{5} text messages of a girl,

So, x text messages of a boy = \frac{7x}{5} text messages of a girl,

Let y represents the text messages of a girl for the x text messages of a boy,

\implies y = \frac{7}{5}x

Which is a line,

∵ At (0,0),

0=\frac{7}{5}(0)  ( True ),

Thus, line y = \frac{7}{5}x passes through the origin,

Hence,

y = \frac{7}{5}x shows a proportional relation.

If x=9 and y=−3, evaluate the following expression:7(2x−3y)​
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

189

Step-by-step explanation:

You can replace the values of x with 9 and the values of y with (-3).

7(2x-3y) = 7(2 × 9 - 3 × -3)

             = 7(18 - -9)

             = 7(18+9)

             = 7 × 27

             = 189

The sum of two numbers is 84. One number is 6 more than the other. What is the smaller of the two numbers?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The answer is 36. Say 42 + 42 is 84. Since one of the number is 6 more than the other, add 6 the first 42 and subtract 6 from the other number which will be 48 + 36 = 84. So the smaller of the two is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price = \$450

Coupon\ A = \$80

Coupon\ B = 20.5\%

Required

Which coupon is better

From the question, we have:

Coupon\ A = \$80

Coupon\ B = 20.5\%

Coupon B means that:

Coupon\ B = 20.5\% * \$450

Coupon\ B = 0.205 * \$450

Coupon\ B = \$92.25

By comparison:

Coupon B gives him a better buy because: \$92.25 > \$80
