In the equation x=−3y, what is the unit rate?

1 answer:

6 0

The unit rate is -1/3.

In direct variation, y varies directly to x by a constant ratio k.

Its equation looks like this: y = kx ; where k stands for the constant ratio.

In the above equation. x = -3y, it should be converted to the proper equation. both sides must be transferred and its accompanying sign must be changed.

3y = -x
3y/3 = -x/3
y = (-1/3)x
where: y is the total value; -1/3 is the unit rate; and x is the number of units

ozzi

Answer:

100 red bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say red bricks is equal to 5x

Gray bricks is equal to 2x

We have an equation

2x + 5x = 140

= 7x = 140

Divide through by 7 to get the value of x

X = 140/7

X = 20

Red bricks = 5(x)

= 5(20)

= 100

Gray bricks = 2(x)

= 2(20)

= 40

Therefore in conclusion the number of red bricks is 100.
