Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1

2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12

Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12

3. 3x - 5y = -15

4. -9x + 4y = 144

and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,

Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,

3(-20) - 5y = -15

-5y = 60 - 15

y = 45/-5

= -9

y = -9

Find the product.<br><br> 8y^3(-3y^2)<br><br> __ Y----
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

y= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

8y x 3(-3y x 2)

By multiplying 3 inside the bracket values

= 8y x -9y x 6

By multiplying the same polynomials co-coefficients

= -72y x 6

y x 6 =72

By Shifting the negative term to the other side

y = 72/6

By dividing

y= 12

If y varies directly as x, find the constant of variation if y = 25 and x = 5.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The constant of variation is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know direct variation is of the form

y = kx

We know y =25 and x=5

25 = k*5

Divide each side by 5

25/5 = 5k/5

5 = k
