the value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. If y=35 when x=140, what is the value of y when x=70 ?

1 answer:

6 0

There’s two ways to complete this problem.
First way:
Let’s see if y can be multiplied by anything to get to x. We should divide y by x.
35/140
.25
So it looks like y will be 1/4 of x.
Since we know that, we can find the value of y using this equation.
.25x=y
.25•70
17.5
So the value of y when x=70 is 17.5
Second way:
As you can tell, they want us to find the value of y when x is half of what it was before.
140:35
70:y
All we have to do is divide 35 by 2 since that’s what we did to the other side.
35/2=17.5
When x is 70, y is 17.5.

Line c has an equation of y=-3/4x-3. Line d is parallel to line c and passes through the points (-2, -2). What is the equation o

blagie [28]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{3}{4}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of line d

to find c substitute (- 2, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 = $\frac{3}{2}$ + c ⇒ c = - 2 - $\frac{3}{2}$ = - $\frac{7}{2}$

y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{7}{2}$ ← equation of line d

Answer:

(c) The volume of a rectangular pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a rectangular prism. The volume of the rectangular pyramid is 66 cm3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pyramid with the same overall dimensions will obviously have a smaller volume. The ratio is 1/3.

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is ...

V = LWH

The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is ...

V = (1/3)LWH

The pyramid has 1/3 the volume of the prism.

Ike has a paper route. When he carries the Sunday paper his backpack is very heavy and Ike ends up with very sore shoulders.Ike

RideAnS [48]

If Ike does not want more than 20 pounds in his backpack, this means he wants less than or equal to 20 pounds in his backpack. Because each paper costs 1/3 pound, this can be used as the rate of change and we can set up the following inequality:

1/3x < 20

To solve this inequality, we should divide both sides of the equation by 1/3.

x < 60

Because this inequality means that x is less than or equal to 60, the answer is that Ike can carry 60 papers in his backpack.

Hope this helps!
