Answer:

The Answer is: There are 8 small boxes and 9 large boxes. See explanation below for variables and variable definitions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = small boxes. Let b = large boxes.

s + b = 17

You can solve for s:

s = 17 - b

You can solve for b:

b = 17 - s

10 times the number of small boxes plus 24 times the number of large boxes is equal to 296 granola bars.

10s + 24b = 296

Substitute:

10(17 - b) + 24b = 296

170 - 10b + 24b = 296

14b = 296 - 170

14b =  126

b = 126 / 14 = 9 large boxes

Find the number of small boxes, s:

s = 17 - b = 17 - 9 = 8 small boxes

There are 8 small boxes and 9 large boxes.

Proof:

10(8) + 24(9) = 296

80 + 216 = 296

296 = 296

Y varies directly with x and y=8 when x=-5
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Y=K×X...... equation

When,Y=8 and X=-5

To find the constant (K)

we substitute for K in the equation

8=K×-5

8=-5K divide both sides by -5

8÷-5=-5K÷-5

K=-1.6

1. Change x = 4t into x = 3t

4t\cdot\frac{3}{4}=3t so

y=(\frac{3}{4}t)^2-1=\frac{9}{16}t^2-1

Answer A and D are wrong.

2. Change x = 4t into x = 2t

4t\cdot\frac{1}{2}=2t and

y=(\frac{1}{2}t)^2-1=\frac{t^2}{4}-1

Answer b is correct.

3.  Change x = 4t into x = 8t

4t\cdot2=8t and

y=(2t)^2-1=4t^2-1

Answer C. is correct, E. is wrong.
