If x varies directly with y and y is 10 when x is 8, what is x when y is 18?

Knowing that x varies directly with y, we know the basic skeleton of the equation is y = mx. 

To find m, plug in the known coordinate (8,10), where the x-coordinate is 8 and the y-coordinate is 10.
y=mx \\ 10=m8 \\ (10)/8=(8m)/8 \\ m= \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4}

Then, plug in m to the equation to get y = (5/4)x.

Finally, plug in the y-coordinate 18 to the equation and solve for x!
y= \frac{5}{4}x \\ 18= \frac{5}{4}x \\  \frac{4}{5}(18)=( \frac{5}{4}x) \frac{4}{5} \\ x= \frac{4*18}{5}  \\  x= \frac{72}{5}

Your exact answer is x = 72/5. However, if your teacher prefers decimals, then x = 14.4

Hope this helps!

y varies directly with x
y=kx
10=k(15)
k=10/15
y=(10/15)x
when x=6
y=(10/15)(6)=60/15=4 
 x varies inversely as y
x=k/y
2=k/8
k=16
x=16/y
when y=17

What is this problem -12=4(x-7)-8x
Fofino [41]

-12=4(x-7)-8x

One solution was found :

                  x = -4

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :


                    -12-(4*(x-7)-8*x)=0


Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 -12 -  (4 • (x - 7) -  8x)  = 0

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :


  4x + 16  =   4 • (x + 4)


Equation at the end of step  3  :

 4 • (x + 4)  = 0

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

4.1      Solve :    4   =  0

Hope this helps you, Have a nice day.

3/5 +9/10= Please answer<br>​
Art [367]

Answer:

3/2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 3/5 by 2 to make the denominator of both fractions equal.

2 x 3/5 = 6/10

Now that the denominators are equal, add the two fractions together

6/10 + 9/10 = 15/10 = 3/2 or 1.5

This is a problem where you should make an equation.
Let's say x is the first week. It would mean
First Week : x
Second Week : x + 5
Third Week : 2(x+5)
You need to add these up to make your equation. Your equation will look something like this :
x+x+5+2(x+5) = 431
Now you simplify.
2x+5+2x+10 = 431
4x+15 = 431
4x = 416
x = 104
That means they sold 104 Boxes in the First Week.
104+5=109
So they sold 109 Boxes the Second Week.
109 x 2 = 218
And they sold 218 Boxes the Third Week.

I hope I was useful!
