The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x.If y=35 when x=140, what is the value of y when x=70

1 answer:

3 0

Y varies x
Invite the constant
y = kx
Kx/x = y/x
K = y/x
Slot in the values
K = 35/140
= 1/4 or 0.25

What is the value of y when x=70
y=kx
y = 35/140 x 70/1
y = 35/2
y = 17 1/2 or 17.5

-5x+2y=6<br> -x+2y=-2 <br> what is the solution to the system of equations?

dybincka [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 5x + 2y = 6 \\ - x + 2y = - 2 \\ \\ - 5x + 2y - ( - x + 2y) = 6 - ( - 2) \\ - 5x + 2y + x - 2y = 6 + 2 \\ - 4x = 8 \\ \frac{ - 4x}{ - 4} = \frac{8}{ - 4 } \\ x = (- 2) \\ \\ -5x + 2y = 6 \\ - 5 \times - 2 + 2y = 6 \\ 10 + 2y = 6 \\ 2y = 6 - 10 \\ 2y = - 4 \\ \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{ - 4}{2} \\ y = - 2 \\ now \: lets \: see \: whether \\ this \: equation \: is \: correct. \\ - x + 2y = - 2 \\ - ( - 2) + 2 \times - 2 = - 2 \\ 2 + 2 \times - 2 = - 2 \\ 2 - 4 = - 2 \\ - 2 = - 2 \\ yes \: this \: equation \: is \\ correct.$

In one basketball season, Susan threw the ball and it went in the basket 56 times. If 7/8 of the baskets Susan threw were worth

Ket [755]

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the number of baskets (56) by the denominator:

56 ÷ 8 = 7

Multiply by 7 to get the amount of 2 point baskets and multiply by 1 to get the amount of 3 point baskets. (they both add up to 56 baskets)

7 × 7 = 49

7 × 1 = 7

multiply the 49, 2 point baskets by 2 and the 7, 3 point baskets by 3 and add them together to get the total points.

49 × 2 = 98

7 × 3 = 21

98 + 21 = 119
