It's pretty simple! So it looks like you are learning proportions. You would cross multiply to achieve your answer. 

First, let's do your first problem: 

2     12
--- = ----
5       n 

You would take 5 and multiply it by 12 and get 60! Then you would do the same with 2 times n, giving you 2n (because you do not know what n represents YET.) 

Now you should have this:
60=2n OR 2n=60

We must isolate our variable, in order to do that, get rid of two! But how? You would do this by dividing 2n by 2. Yet in equations, when you do something to one side, you must do it to the other because they must be EQUAL! (hence the "equa-" in equation) 

2n=60
---   ---
2      2  DIVIDE 2 into 60
----------
n= 30   Simplify! 

Your final answer for the first question is n= 30!

aniked [119]
Since you have the answers given, just track their walking.
After one hour, one guy has covered 3mi and the other 4mi, which is in total 7, not 14
After 2 hours, one guy has covered 6mi and the other 8mi, which is 14mi

The algebraic way would be:
3x +4x = 14 *x being the hour
7x = 14
x =2

The gas law for an ideal gas at absolute temperature T (in kelvins), pressure P (in atmospheres), and volume V (in liters) is PV
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

\frac{dT}{dt}=3.78^{\circ}K/min

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the time derivative of T=PV/nR with P and V variable and n and R constants. This is:

\frac{dT}{dt} =\frac{d\frac{PV}{nR}}{dt}=\frac{1}{nR}\frac{d(PV)}{dt}

What we have to do is the derivative of a product:

\frac{d(PV)}{dt}=P\frac{dV}{dt}+V\frac{dP}{dt}

Substituting, we have:

\frac{dT}{dt} =\frac{P\frac{dV}{dt}+V\frac{dP}{dt}}{nR}

where all these values are given since the time derivatives of P and V are their variation rate, using minutes.

We then substitute everything, noticing that already everything is in the same system of units so they cancel out:

\frac{dT}{dt}=\frac{P\frac{dV}{dt}+V\frac{dP}{dt}}{nR}=\frac{(8atm)(0.16L/min)+(13L)(0.14atm/min)}{(10mol)(0.0821Latm/mol^{\circ}K)}

And then just calculate:

\frac{dT}{dt}=3.78^{\circ}K/min

Y=-x+2 <br> y=-5x-6 <br> What is y and x
tatyana61 [14]
To solve this system of equations, since y is already isolated in both equations, you can set the expressions to equal each other to solve for x:

-x + 2 = - 5x - 6
-x + 5x = -6 - 2
4x = -8
x = -2

Now that we have x, we can substitute it into one of the equations to find y:

y = -(-2) + 2
y = 2 + 2
y = 4

The last step is to substitute both values into both equations to see if they are correct:

4 = -(-2) + 2    -->    4 = 2 + 2    <--True
4 = -5(-2) - 6    -->    4 = 10 - 6    <--True

Answer:
x = -2
y = 4

Identify the sampling technique used for the following study. A scientist chooses twenty people at random from each class.
Dmitry [639]

The sampling technique used  when A  scientist chooses twenty people at random from each class is stratified sampling.

<h3>What is stratified sampling?</h3>

Stratified sampling can be described as the type of  sampling method whereby the  total population is been divided into smaller groups or strata.

This usually done  to complete the sampling process, hence The sampling technique used  when A  scientist chooses twenty people at random from each class is stratified sampling.
