Explanation

Y varies directly as x

Y ∝ x Inserting constant of variation, k,

Y = kx

k = Y/x

= 18/6

= 3

use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point slope form passing through (-5,7) and (-8,6)

KengaRu [80]

Point slope form is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where slope=m
and (x1,y1) is a given point

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(6-7)/(-8-(-5))=-1/(-8+5)=-1/-3=1/3

pick any point
(x,y)
(-5,7)

y-7=1/3(x+5) or
y-6=1/3(x+8)

What is the product? (38b* )-822

sergey [27]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf D)\:-24a^3b^7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf (3a^2b^4)(-8ab^3)$

We'll use rule of exponents to simplify expression.

$\sf 3^1a^2b^4(-8)^1a^1b^3$

Now, use the commutative property of multiplication.

$\sf 3^1(-8)^1a^2a^2b^4b^4$

In order to multiply power of the same base, we add their exponents.

$\sf 3^2(-8)^1a^{2+1}b^{4+3}$

→ Add exponents:

$\sf 3^1(-8)^1a^3b^7$

→ Multiply 3* -8

$\sf -24a^3b^7$

The length of a rectangle is four more than triple the width. if the perimeter is 120 inches, find the dimensions.

mezya [45]

120/2=60 (sum of both lengths)
4x+4=60
4x=56
x=14

length=46
width=14
