Answer: R = 34

Step-by-step explanation: In physics this is Ohm's Law, where voltage = current x resistance. Thus, an electrical circuit would be V = 17 x 10, or V = 170 volts. Now, in a real circuit, if the voltage remains constant and the current changes, the resistance will change proportionally. In this case it would be 170 = R x 5, or R = 170/5 = 34 ohms. In the same way, adding resistance to a circuit with a fixed voltage reduces the current through the circuit.

In the case of a simple stated inverse proportional relationship we can simply write the current ratio as 17/5. Then the corresponding changed resistance ratio would be 10/R. The INVERSE is R/10 so the equation is 17/5 = R/10 ; R = 10(17/5) ; R = 170/5

Which equation is equivalent to n + 4 = 11? *
dangina [55]

Answer:

(n + 4) *2 = 11 * 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(n + 4) *2 = 11 * 2

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{(n + 4) *2}{2} = \frac{11 * 2}{2}

n + 4 = 11

There are 257 people at a dance performance. Orchestra seats cost $12 and balcony seats cost $8. The total receipts were $2,716.
solniwko [45]

x = # of balcony seats

y = # of orchestra seats

We have to create a system of equations to solve this problem

x + y = 256

$8x + $12y = $2,716

We will solve this system of equations by elimination.

Multiply the first equation by -8

-8x - 8y = -2048

8x + 12y = 2716

Let's add the equations together

0 + 4y = 668

Simplify the left side

4y = 668

Divide both sides by 4

y = 167

We can subtract 167 from 257 to get the number of balcony seats.

257 - 167 = 90 balcony seats

There are 167 orchestra seats and 90 balcony seats

The proportion
  peanuts : raisins : chocolate chips = 4 : 6 : 2
tells you that peanuts make up
  4/(4+6+2) = 1/3
of the total quantity of the mix.

The quantity of peanuts required is (1/3)*(48 ounces) = 16 ounces (or 1 pound).

_____
In the 48 ounces of mix, 1 part = 4 ounces.

What's the value of x and y?​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

x = 45 and y = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third angle be z

z = 180 - 135 (Linear Pair)

z = 45

Since its an iscosceles triangle,

<z = <x (angles opposite to equal sides have equal angles)

<x = 45 degree

<z + <x + <y = 180

45 + 45+ <y = 180

90 + <y = 180

<y = 180 - 90

<y = 90

Therefore x = 45 and y = 90

Hope u understood please mark as brainliest

Thank You
