Answer:

If x varies directly as y, then x=ky. y=5 and x=2.5 are substituted into x=ky to find k.

2.5=5k

k=2.5/5

k=5.

K =5 is substituted in x=ky to find y where x is 10.

x=5y

10=5y

y=10/2

y=2

Answer: The required value of y is 20.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that y is 5 when x is 2.5 and y varies directly with x.

We are to find the value of y when x is 10.

According to the given information, we can write

$y\propto x\\\\\Rightarrow y=kx~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{where k is the constant of proportionality}]$

When y = 5 and x = 2.5, then we have

$5=k\times2.5\\\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{5}{2.5}\\\\\Rightarrow k=2.$

So, we get

$y=2x.$

Therefore, when x = 10, then the value of y is

$y=2\times10=20.$

Thus, the required value of y is 20.

Y is the output and x is the input. The given statement is output is 11 more than the output (x) so the function rule is y=x+11

We want to see if the given function represents a linear function.

We will see that yes, it does.

So we have the function:

y = f(x) = 30 + 5*x

And a general linear function is written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing these two, we can see that both have the same general shape, thus, our function is also a linear function.

A graph of our function also can be seen below, where it is evident that it is a line.

Brass is made from a mixture of copper and other elements. a mixture that is 80% copper is combined with a mixture that is 60% c

algol [13]

The equation that can be used to find x, the amount of the 60% mixture used to create the 65% mixture is:

0.60*x + 0.80*(100 - x) = 0.65*(100).

<h3>Which equation we should use?</h3>

First, let's define two variables:

x = pounds of the 60% copper brass.
y = pounds of the 80% copper brass.

We know that we want to make 100 lb of 65% copper brass, then we must have that:

x + y = 100

And the percentage of copper before and after mixing must be the same, so we can write:

0.60*x + 0.80*y = 0.65*(x + y).

(where the percentages are written in decimal form).

Then we have a system of equations:

x + y = 100

0.60*x + 0.80*y = 0.65*(x + y).

To get a single equation, we can isolate the variable "y" on the first equation:

y = 100 - x

Now we replace that in the other equation:

0.60*x + 0.80*(100 - x) = 0.65*(100).

This is what we wanted to get, an equation that can be used to find x, the amount of the 60% mixture used to create the 65% mixture.
