An equation is shown. 2x-4y=8 solve the equation for x in terms of y

1 answer:

7 0

2x-4y=8

Add 4y to each side to separate the variables, since you want to solve for x let be on the left

2x=4y+8

Divide the entire equation by 2 to allow x to stand alone

x=2y+4

And I have to type some more so it will let me answer the question so here ya go

A kite is flying on 39 feet of string. How high is it above the ground if it’s height is 22 feet more than the horizons distance

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

about 36.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the height of the kite in feet. Then (x-22) is the horizontal distance to the kite. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the string length is related to these distances by ...

... 39² = x² + (x-22)²

... 2x² -44x -1037 = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

Using the quadratic formula, the positive solution is ...

... x = (-b+√(b²-4ac))/(2a) . . . . for a=2, b=-44, c=-1037

... x = (44 + √((-44)² -4(2)(-1037)))/(2·2)

... x = 11 + √639.5 ≈ 36.288

The kite is about 36.3 feet above the ground.

How many minutes in 4 hours

beks73 [17]

Answer: 240 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of unit conversion.

Unit conversion is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Solve:

1 hour = 60 minutes

4 hours = 4 × 60 = 240 minutes

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

When Jada took 8 steps, Noah took 10 steps

When Jada took 12 steps, Noah took 15 steps

a. The following table can be created as follows given that x = steps taken by Jada, and y = steps taken by Noah:

From the info given, the ratio of Noah's steps to Jada's steps is 15 : 12 = 10 : 8 = 5 : 4 = ⁵/4.

Use this ratio to create a table of 3 pairs of values as shown below.

Jada's Steps (x) ===> Noah's steps (y)

4 ===> 5

8 ==> 10

12 ==> 15

b. The graph of that shows this relationship has been attached below. Check the attachment.

c. Constant of proportionality can be calculated in each representation as follows: y/x = k. Where y is steps taken by Noah, x is for steps taken by Jada, and I is constant of proportionality.

Thus,

Constant of proportionality (k) = 15/12 = ⁵/4

This means, for every 5 steps taken by Noah, Jada takes 4 steps.

This relationship is represented by the equation, y = ⁵/4x.

The ⁵/4 in the equation is the constant of proportionality of their relationship.

d. The equation, description, graph, and table all represent the same situation because they all show the same constant of proportionality between x and y.

In the equation, ⁵/4 represents the constant of proportionality. In the graph, the slope is ⁵/4, which is also the same last constant of proportionality.

In the table, the constant of change in each pair is ⁵/4 all through.
