4.2x - 1.4y = 2.1 |multiply both sides by 10

42x - 14y = 21 |subtract 42x from both sides

-14y = 21 - 42x |change signs

14y = 42x - 21 |divide both sides by 14

y = 3x - 1.5

1. The amount of extension in an elastic spring varies directly as the weight hung on it. If a weight of 150 gm produces an exte

gregori [183]

Answer:

900 g

Step-by-step explanation:

let e be extension and w be weight

given e varies directly as w then the equation relating them is

e = kw ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition w = 150 , e = 2.9 , then

2.9 = 150k ( divide both sides by 150 )

$\frac{2.9}{150}$ = k , that is

k = $\frac{29}{1500}$

e = $\frac{29}{1500}$ w ← equation of variation

when e = 17.4 , then

17.4 = $\frac{29}{1500}$ w ( multiply both sides by 1500 )

26100 = 29w ( divide both sides by 29 )

900 = w
