Answer:
35/2 or 17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x / 7 - 3 = 2
2x / 7 - 3 + 3 = 2 + 3
2x / 7 = 5
(2x /7) x 7 = 5 x 7
2x = 35
x = 35/2 or 17.5
Sent a pic of the solution (s).
This is the concept of proportionality, given that z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y then:
zαx/y
z=(kx)/y
where;
k is the constant of proportionality given by:
k=zy/x
but when x=3 and =6 then z=9.5
therefore:
k=(9.5*6)/3
k=19
hence the formula for z will be:
z=(19x)/y
the value of z when x=8 and y=12 will be:
z=(19*8)/12
z=12 2/3
