X/y= 5/7

x+y=372

x=5/7y

5/7y+y=372


12/7y=372

y = 372(7/12)= 217


x= 155

The given numbers are in the ratio 5:7. Let the numbers be 5x and 7x, where x is a real number.

The sum of the numbers is 5x+7x=372.

Solve for x,

12x=372\\ x= \frac{372}{12}\\ x=31.

Therefore, the numbers are,

5*31,7*31 or the numbers are 155,217.

When the temperature stays the same, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. If a balloon is f
valkas [14]

Answer:

The new pressure of the gas is 42 pounds per square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the temperature remains constant, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.

V\propto \frac{1}{P}

We can rewrite the above equation is

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}  [at constant temperature]

At a pressure of 14 pounds per square inches, a balloon is filled with 93 cubic inches of gas.

The volume of the gas is decreased to 31 cubic inches.

Here,

V_1= 93 cubic inches, P_1 = 14 pounds per square inches,

V_2=31 cubic inches, P_2 = ?

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}

\Rightarrow \frac{93}{31}=\frac{P_2}{14}

\Rightarrow \frac{P_2}{14}=\frac{93}{31}

\Rightarrow {P_2}=\frac{93}{31}\times 14

\Rightarrow {P_2}=42 pounds per square inches

The new pressure of the gas is 42 pounds per square inches.

WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? 1. In Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6%. Suppose that an item costs $50.88 including tax. How can we
Aliun [14]

Answer: $48

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.

Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:

x + (6% of x) = $50.88

x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88

x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88

x + 0.06x = $50.88

1.06x = $50.88

When then divide by the coefficient of x

1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06

x = $48

The price before the tax is $48
