it could be 2.2 because every 5 you get 2 so it would be 10 and 4 so when y=6 then x should be 2.2.

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality.

To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 2

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$ = 2.5, thus

y = 2.5x ← equation of proportionality

When x = 6, then

y = 2.5 × 6 = 15

-7-4p-(-5) pls answer

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

-7-20p

Step-by-step explanation:

Did it in my head but generally first parentheses so -1 times by -5 is 5... still there so multiply 5 by -4p, after that no more simplifying to be done as you cant combine or simplify a number with a variable to one that doesn't have a variable.

2(2x + 3) = -6(x + 9)

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Your answer is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify 2(2x+3) to get 4x+6

Then simplify -6(x+9) to get -6x-54

Now you have 4x+6=-6x-54

Move all of the coefficients to one side:

10x+6=-54

Move all of the constants to the other side:

10x=-60

Divide each side by 10:

10/10x=-60/10

To get your answer of -6.

What is<br> is 1/4 + 9/10y -3/5y +7/8 written in simplest form?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{9}{10}y - \frac{3}{5}y+\frac{7}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3}{5}y\\\\$

Combine like terms. 1/4 and 7/8 are like terms and LCD of 4 and 8 is 8

9/10y and -3/5y are like terms and LCD of 10 , 5 is 10

$= \frac{1*2}{4*2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3*2}{5*2}y\\\\=\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{6}{10}y\\\\=\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{10}y$
