Answer:
y/x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y ∝ x
change ∝ to = by adding constant k or c
y = kx
Divide both sides by x
y/x = k, also k = y/x
Input the values
k = (7 1/2)/3. Change 7 1/2 to improper fraction to give 15/2
k = (15/2)/3
k = ÷ 3
Change the division sign to multiplication which will change 3 to its inverse(1/3)
k = ×
k =
Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/2
k = 5/2
From y/x = k,input k into the eqn
y/x = 5/2
y/x = 2.5
The answer would be A.) 1
To find this answer you solve for x. Subtract 3/2 from both sides. This will give you 1/2x = 1/2^x. Then, divide by 1/2 on both sides to get x = 1.
To check this fill in x with 1. Then solve.
- 1/2 * 1/1 + 3/2 = 2^1
- 1/2 + 3/2 = 2
- 4/2 = 2
- 2 = 2
Thus making 1 the answer. Here's an image to show how I got this. I hope this helps!
