The value of y varies directly with x2, and y = 150 when x = 5. What is the value of y when x=3?

1 answer:

3 0

The value of y when x=3 when the value of y varies directly with x^2, and y = 150 when x = 5 is 54. Since the value of y varies directly with x2, then: y = k * x^2, where k is constant. When y = 150 and x = 5, the value of constant is: 150 = k * 5^2. 150 = k * 25. k = 150/25. k = 6. Thus, when x = 3, the value of y will be: y = 6 * 3^2. y = 6 * 9. y = 54.

You spend $20 total on tubes of paint and disposable brushes for an art project. Tubes of paint cost $4.00 each and paintbrushes

hram777 [196]

You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
