To solve this problem, create two equations with x and y. The pieces of information that we know are that the first child is 3 times older than the second child. Therefore if we assign child #1 the variable of x and child #2 the variable of y, we could get the following equation:
3x = y
Now, we also know that together their ages equal 50 months. Therefore:
x + y = 50 (months)
So, using these two equations you can use either substitution or elimination to find the values of x and y. You would first need to rearrange the first equation to 3x - y = 0 (just moving the y to the other side).
Then, you could add the equations together as followed:
3x - y = 0
x + y = 50
___________
4x = 50
x = 12.5
And then fill that value in to one of the equations to find y.
3x = y
3(12.5) = y
y = 37.5
So, one child is 12.5 months old and the other is 37.5 months old!
No he actually got slower. if you divide 198\6 it equals 33 if you divide 248\8 you get 31

x = 3
Answer:
D. The input force is equal to the output force
Step-by-step explanation:
A pulley changes the direction of the applied force, but does not change its magnitude. The mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force, so must be 1 when the force magnitude does not change.
Answer: option. y=-1.33x; 2.67
Solution:
If y varies directly with x, the relation between y and x is:
y=kx
where k is a constant of proporcionality.
We know y=8 when x=-6. Replacing these values in the equation above:
8=k(-6)
8=-6k
Solving for k: Dividing both sides of the equation by -6:
8/(-6)=-6k/(-6)
-1.33=k
k=-1.33
Then the relation between y and x is:
y=kx→y=-1.33x
What is the value of y when x=-2?
Replacing x by -2 in the formula:
y=-1.33x→y=-1.33(-2)→y=2.66
