One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:
<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2 could be written as:
4x + 15 1
----------- = ---
5x 2
Then 8x + 30 = 5x
3x = -30, and so x = -10 (answer). Be certain to check this answer through substitution!

A proportional relationship is also a direct variation.
The general equation of direct cvariation is
y = kx,
where k is a number.
In your case, if k = -1, then y = kx becomes y = (-1)x which is the same as
y = -x
Answer: 53 degree
Explanation:
AEB + BEC + CED = 180 degree
37 + 90 + CED = 180
CED = 180 - 127
CED = 53 degree
The inequality that represents the possible combinations of candy bars and lollipops that he can buy is given by:
<h3>What is the inequality that models this situation?</h3>
The total price can be no more than $28, hence:
Each candy bar costs $0.45 and each lollipop costs $0.25. x is the number of candy bars and y of lollipops. Hence, the total price is given by:
T = 0.45x + 0.25y.
Hence, the inequality that models the situation is:
