Two times one number added to three times a second number is 21.
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Two times one number added to three times a second number is 21.

2x + 3y = 21

"The second number is ten less than five times the first number"

y = 5x-10

Substitution

2x+3(5x-10) = 21

2x + 15x - 30 = 21

17x = 51

x = 3

y = 5x-10 = 5

What is the product of (X4/3)(X2/3) ?
katrin [286]
Hi, the answer to this would be x6/9. I'm assuming the x4/3 and x2/3 are fractions and the x's aren't exponents. Now how I got x6/9 is shown here.

1st Step: Started off by regrouping the terms
1/3x3 x^4x^2

2nd Step: we can easily simplify 3x3 to just 9. And now we're left with 1/9x^4x^2

3rd Step: Now we can simplify the 1/9 to just x^4x^2/9

4th Step: Now we can use the product rule which is simple. So We add the exponents and simplify it to just one exponent. So x4+2=6 that simplifies to just x^6.

Final Answer: x^6/9.
Hope this helped you :)

1. Which of the following questions has a constant of
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

In B)  y = x/7 , the constant of proportionality is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two quantities X and Y are said to be in proportion if and only if

X = kY   or, \frac{X}{Y}  = k,

where k =  Proportionality Constant.

Here, 7 is the constant of proportionality. Then,

A .   y = 14x

here, \frac{y}{x}  = 14  ≠ 7

B .   y = x/7

here, \frac{x}{y}  = 7  = constant of proportionality .

C.   y = x

here, \frac{y}{x}  = 1  ≠ 7
