Given parameters:
y varies directly as w;
This interpreted implies that as y increases, we increases by a certain factor or amount;
So, y ∝ w
y = kw
where k is the constant of proportionality
Now, given that y = 8 and w = 2
Input in the equation to solve for k;
8 = k x 2
Solving k gives, k = 4
Now to the second part,
if v is directly proportional to w;
v = k w
So v = 4w
The equation that relates v to w is v = 4w
Answer:
x = 16
m<Y = 34°
Step-by-step explanation:
∆XYZ is an isosceles ∆. An isosceles ∆ has two equal sides, as well as the bases of the isosceles triangle are congruent. In this case, therefore:
<X = <Z
(6x - 23)° = (4x + 9)
Solve for x
6x - 23 = 4x + 9
Collect like terms
6x - 4x = 23 + 9
2x = 32
Divide both sides by 2
x = 16
m<Y = 180° - (m<X + m<Z) (sum of ∆)
m<Y = 180 - ((6x - 23) + (4x + 9))
Plug in the value of x
m<Y = 180 - ((6(16) - 23) + (4(16) + 9))
m<Y = 180 - (73 + 73)
m<Y = 34°
