Answer:

• the equation kind is incorrect

• the equation is incorrect

• the equation should be: y = 15/x

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the data tells us the time is inversely proportional to the number of workers, and that the product of time and workers is 15 worker·hours. The form for inverse proportionality is ...

y = k/x

or

xy = k

Our observation tells us k = 15 (worker·hours), so our model equation is ...

y = 15/x . . . . . where x is the number of workers, and y is the hours to paint the room

Use the side-splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below.<br> 21<br> 42
alexandr1967 [171]

x = 8

Solution:

Side-splitter theorem:

<em>If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.</em>

$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{21} =\frac{x}{42}

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 4 × 42 = 21x

Divide by 21 on both sides, we get

⇒ 4 × 2 = x

⇒ 8 = x

Switch the sides.

⇒ x = 8

The value of x is 8.

15. If R is the midpoint of OS, OR = 8x - 51 and RS = 3x - 6, find QS.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

if you mean find OS, then:

OS = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

if you mean find OS, then:

8x-51 = 3x-6

5x = 45

x = 9

OS = 2(3x-6)

OS = 6x-12

substitute for x

OS = 6(9)-12 =42

What is 1/3 + 5/6 Help
gulaghasi [49]

<em><u>7/6 is the right answer.</u></em> First you had to add by the fractions. And it gave us, \frac{2}{6}+ \frac{5}{6}. Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions. And it gave us, \frac{2+5}{6}. Finally, you had to add by the numbers, and it gave us the answer is 2+5=7, or 7/6 is the right answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
