The question is asking you to come up with a real-life example of something that can be represented as 15+ c= 17.50. If I were you I would do sales tax. You bought an item with a 15 dollar price tag, but when you go to check out 2.50 are added in tax to equal 17.50. to solve subtract 15 from 17.50: c= 2.50. Your variable (c) represents the sales tax. Hope that helps! :)
Answer: 47 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
- Make Two Equations
x + y = 63
x - y = 31
- Set one of the equations equal to one of the variables
x + y = 63
x = 31 + y
- Substitute the equation back into the other one
(31 + y) + y = 63
31 + 2y = 63
2y = 32
y = 16
- Substitute the answer back into the equation
x + y = 63
x + 16 = 63
x = 47
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that x and y vary directly then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition x = 25 when y = 100 , then
100 = 25k ( divide both sides by 25 )
4 = k
y = 4x ← equation of variation
When y = 24 , then
24 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
6 = x
