B = (R+2)
3R = 2B
3R = 2(R+2)
3R = 2R + 4
3R-2R = 4
R= 4
B = R + 2, so B = 6

If y varies inversely as x, find the constant of variation if y=36 when x=9
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

k = 324

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies inversely as x

Let k be the constant of variation

Y = k/ x

Y= 36 and x= 9

Substitute the value of Y and x

36 = k/9

Make k the subject of the formula

k= 36*9

k =324

Solve this please <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2x%20%2B%203%20%5Cleqslant%20x%20%2B%205" id="TexFormula1" title="2x + 3
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the ≤ sign, treat it like an equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 3 and x from both sides:

2x (-x) + 3 (-3) ≤ x (-x) + 5 (-3)

2x - x ≤ 5 - 3

Simplify:

2x - x ≤ 5 - 3

x ≤ 2

x ≤ 2 is your answer.
