The expression will be y =8*2 or y = (48/6)*2

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct proportion is given if y varied directly as x

y∝x

When the proprtionality symbol is removed, a proportionality constant is introduced.

y = kx

as we know y = 48 when x = 6

$48 = k * 6\\k = \frac{48}{6}\\k = 8$

The equation will be:

y = 8x

So when x=2

y = 8*2

y = 16

Hence,

The expression will be y =8*2 or y = (48/6)*2

Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.<br> y=-2x+4<br> y=-2

anygoal [31]

Answer:

X=3,y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation question and we will have to solve using substitution method

So let's solve

y=-2x+4...(1)

y=-2....(2)

Let's substitute (2) into (1)

-2=-2x+4

Substrate 4 from both sides

-6=-2x

Divide both sides by-2

x=3

Substitute the value of x in (1)

y=-2(3)+4

y=-6+4

y=-2

Therefore x is 3,y is -2

Can somebody please help???

Darnel needs to spend three days making jam if he wants to jar 15 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are to assume the relationship is proportional then if he makes 10 liters in 2 days you divide 10 by 2 and you get 5. This means he makes 5 liters a day. Then you add 5 to 10 and you get 15 which means you are adding another day(5) So he needs to work an extra day which would give you three dyas total. Hope this helped!
