Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies directly as x:

\therefore \: y = kx..(1) \\ (k = constant \: of \: proportionality) \\ at \: y = 21 \: and \: x = 7 \\ 21 = k \times 7 \\ k =  \frac{21}{7}  = 3 \\ plugging \: k = 3 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ y = 3x..(2) \\ plugging \:  \: y =  - 5  \: in \: (2)\\  - 5 = 3x \\ x =  \frac{ - 5}{3}  \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \huge \red{ \boxed{x =  -  \frac{5}{3} }}

elena55 [62]

Answer:

95% of the population spent between 16.8 hours to 26.2 hours on social media per month

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. subtracting 1 from sample size: 83-1= 82
  2. Note Mean=21.5 and standard deviation=2.5
  3. Subtracting confidence interval from 1 and dividing by 2: (1-0.95)/2=0.025
  4. At α=0.025 and dF=82,  the t-distribution table gives  1.984
  5. Divide standard deviation by square root of sample size: 21.5/√83= 2.36
  6. Multiplying answer in step 4 by answer in step 5: 2.36×1.984= 4.68
  7. For lower end: 21.5-4.68= 16.82
  8. for upper end: 21.5+4.68=26.18

Two opposite sides of a rectangle are each of length x. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 12, then the area, as a function of
Reil [10]

Answer: x(6-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two opposite sides of a rectangle are each of length x.

Let the other adjacent side be y.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 12 units.

Perimeter of rectangle is given by :-

P=2(\text{Sum of adjacent sides})\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12=2(x+y)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+y=\dfrac{12}{2}=6\\\\\Rightarriow\ y=6-x

The area of rectangle is given by :-

A=\text{product of two adjacent sides}\\\\\Rightarrow\ A=xy=x(6-x)

Hence, the area as a function x = x(6-x)
