Answer:  The correct option is

(A) Both expressions equal 5 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find he result of substituting 2 for x in both the following expressions :

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}x+4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\\\E_2=x+6-\dfrac{1}{2}x-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting x = 2 in both the expressions, we get

(i)~\Rightarrow E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2+4=1+4=5,\\\\\\(ii)~\Rightarrow E_2=2+6-\dfrac{1}{2}\times2-2=8-1-2=5.

So, the both the expressions equal 5.

Now, from equation (ii), we get

E_2=x+6-\dfrac{1}{2}x-2=\dfrac{2-1}{2}x+6-2=\dfrac{1}{2}x+4=E_1.

That is, both the expressions are equivalent.

Thus, both the expressions equal 5 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

Answer: pretty sure the answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(2) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

If y varies directly with x when y=8,x=20 find the value of x when y=42
Alecsey [184]

The value of x is 105 when y=42

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct proportion means that the change in one quantity will also cause the change in other quantity

Given

y varies directly with x

x ∝ y

when the proportionality symbol is removed a proportionality constant is introduced

x=ky\\k=\frac{x}{y}\\Putting\ y=8\ and\ x=20\\k=\frac{20}{8}\\k = \frac{5}{2}\\So,\ the\ equation\ will\ be\\x=\frac{5}{2}y\\Putting\ y=42\\x=\frac{5}{2}*42\\x=5*21\\x= 105

The value of x is 105 when y=42
