Answer:
3 1/3 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y and let z be the constant of proportion. Then
xy = 5z ...............(1)
x + y = 4z ...........(2)
x - y = z ..............(3) Adding (2) and (3)
2x = 5z
x = 5z/2 ................(4)
Substituting for x in equation 1:
5z/2 * y = 5z
y = (5z * 2) / 5z = 2.
Substituting for y in equations (2) and (3):
x + 2 = 4z
x - 2 = z Subtracting:
4 = 3z
z = 4/3.
Substituting for z in equation (4)
x = 5(4/3) /2
x = 20/6 = 10/3 = 3 1/3.
So the 2 numbers are 3 1/3 and 2.
Checking the results:
xy = 2 * 10/3 = 20/3 = 5 * 4/3 = 5z
x + y = 10/3 + 2 = 16/3 = 4 * 4/3 = 4z.
x - y = 10/3 - 2 = 4/3 = z.
First, figure out how long it takes Francis to get one paycheck.
You do this by dividing the number of weeks by the number of paychecks.
12 ÷ 6 = 2
Now, you divide 52 weeks by the time it takes to get one paycheck.
52 ÷ 2 = 26
This means that Francis gets 26 paychecks in 52 weeks.
If y varies directly with x, means that they can be modeled by a linear equation, lets choose a line with 0 y intercept, that is:
y = mx + b
y = mx
where m is the slope of the line, now we plug in the data we have:
y = mx
20/3 = m(30)
solving for m:
m = (20/3)(1/30)
m = 20/90
m = 2/9
so the line equation, or function modeling the y and x relationship is:
y = (2/9)x
