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

rosijanka [135]

Answer:  B. Probability

For example, let's say you want to know the probability of flipping tails.

There's 1 way to get tails out of 2 sides total. So 1/2 = 0.5 is the probability of flipping tails.

We define "success" as "getting tails".

Please help me with this.
inessss [21]

Answer:

d. x = 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 5/6x to both sides.

  • \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{5}{6}x = 2 - \frac{5}{6}x + \frac{5}{6}x
  • \frac{3}{2}x = 2

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2/3.

  • \frac{3}{2}x * \frac{2}{3} = 2 * \frac{2}{3}
  • x = \frac{4}{3}
  • x = 1 \frac{1}{3}

The Chandlers are moving across the country. Mr. Chandler leaves 4 hours before Mrs. Chandler. If he averages 70mph and she aver
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

It will take 28 hours for Mrs. Chandler to catch up with Mr. Chandler.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of Mr. Chandler = 70 mph

Distance covered in 4 hours = 70 * 4 = 280 miles

Let,

h be the number of hours.

y be the total distance covered.

y = 70h + 280

Speed of Mrs. Chandler = 80 mph

y = 80h

For catching up, the distance would be same.

80h = 70h + 280

80h - 70h = 280

10h = 280

Dividing both sides by 10

\frac{10h}{10}=\frac{280}{10}\\h=28

Hence,

It will take 28 hours for Mrs. Chandler to catch up with Mr. Chandler.

Answer:

g(3) = 8

g(-6) = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = g(3) = 3^2-1 =8

g(x) = g(-6) = -6^2-1 = -37

Hope this helps!
