Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use either of the 2 given points

Using (- 9, - 3), then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{-3}{-9}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x ← equation of function

Select the correct answer. Sean and Colleen are raking leaves in their yard. Working together, they can clear the yard of leaves

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:

$\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{c+20} =\frac{1}{24} \\\\Finding\ the\ L.C.M\ of\ the\ fraction\ to\ get\ 24c(c+20)\ as\ the\ L.C.M.\\Multiply\ the\ whole\ equation\ by\ 24c(c+20):\\\\\frac{1}{c}(24c(c+20))+\frac{1}{c+20}(24c(c+20)) =\frac{1}{24}(24c(c+20)) \\\\24c+480+24c=c^2+20c\\\\48c+480=c^2+20c\\\\c^2+20c-48c-480=0\\\\c^2-28c-480=0$

Solving the quadratic equation to get c gives:

c = -12 and c = 40

Since the time cannot be negative, hence c = 40 minutes.

It would take colleen 40 minutes to clear the yard of leaves alone

Could ΔABC be congruent to ΔADC by SSS? Explain. Yes, but only if AB ≅ DC. Yes, but only if BC ≅ DC. No, because AB is not congr

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

<em>Yes, but only if BC ≅ DC; Option B</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 possible ways to determine whether two triangles are congruent, and they are the following ;

ASA ( Angle - Side - Angle ),

SAS ( Side - Angle - Side ),

AAS ( Angle - Angle - Side ), and

SSS ( Side - Side - Side )

It is known here that we must prove these triangles congruence through SSS. A triangle can thus be made possible through the congruence of corresponding sides;

Now if we were to create these triangles it would be that BC and DC are, if the triangles were to coincide with one another, the apparent same length if it were that these two Δs really are ≅. Thus;

<em>Solution; Yes, but only if BC ≅ DC</em>
