The numbers of cars (c) in the parking lot increases when the parking fee (f) decrease. Write the correct equation for this scen

vodka [1.7K]

So when one goes up, the other goes down. This is an inverse equation.

An inverse equation looks like this: y = 1/x

In this case, when parking fee (f) decreases, cars (c) increase.
You know which side to put each variable on using the chart they gave you.
f | c
20.00 15 (20.00 = x/15) x=300
30.00 10 (30.00 = x/10) x=300

So your equation in this case is f = 300/c
Knowing that, plug in the fee of 6.00

6 = 300/c Multiply both sides by c.
6c = 300 Divide both sides by 6.
c = 50 cars

A baseball player has made 32 free throws in 45 attempts for current success rate of 71%. How many consecutive free throws must

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: The player need to make 2 consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of extra consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75% be 'x'.

Number of free throws already taken = 32

Number of attempts = 45

According to question, it becomes,

$\dfrac{32+x}{45}=0.75\\32+x=45\times 0.75\\\\32+x=33.75\\\\x=33.75-32\\\\x=1.75$

Hence, the player need to make 2 consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75%.

Answer:

$\left \{ {{x = -15} \atop {y=3}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left \{ {{x + 5y = 0} (1) \atop {3y + 2x = -21}(2)} \right. \left \{ {{x = -5y} \atop {3y + 2x = -21}} \right. \left \{ {{x = -5y} \atop {3y + 2*(-5y) = -21}} \right. \left \{ {{x = -5y} \atop {3y - 10y = -21}} \right. \\ \left \{ {{x = -5y } \atop {-7y = -21}} \right. \left \{ {{x = -5y} \atop {y= 3 }} \right. \left \{ {{x = -5 * 3} \atop {y=3}} \right.=> \left \{ {{x=-15} \atop {y=3}} \right.$
