Answer:
y=5 when x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the format for inverse proportions: y=k/x
To find k, substitute 25 in for y and 4 for x to find:
25=k/4 ⇒ k=100
Using this we can substitute k and x in for 100 and 20 to find:
y=100/20 ⇒ y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-4y=13
y=-3x-7
3x-4(-3x-7)=13
3x+12x+28=13
15x=-15
x= -1
y= -3x-7 = 3-7= -4
( -1, -4)
Answer:
10 boys, 15 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls
let x be the scale factor of the ratio
2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1
Simplify: 2x+5=3x
Simplify: 5=x
plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15
Check: 10/15 = 2/3
10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1
(-6,26) are the coordinates of the other endpoint because it it the same distance from the midpoint in the opposite direction of the other endpoint
