Answer:

y=5 when x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the format for inverse proportions: y=k/x

To find k, substitute 25 in for y and 4 for x to find:

25=k/4 ⇒ k=100

Using this we can substitute k and x in for 100 and 20 to find:

y=100/20 ⇒ y=5

Which of the following shows the solution to the inequality

otez555 [7]

Answer:

I got x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First to isolate the variable you add 3 to both sides which will give you 1/2x is less than or equal to 2. Then divide both sides by 1/2 and you will get x = 1. To check the answer I just did:

$1/2(1) -3 \leq -1\\1/2 -3\leq -1\\-2.5\leq -1$

And since -2.5 is less than -1 this statement is true. x does in fact equal 1
