Answer:

x = 26; l = 137; m = 137

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines are parallel, that means the measurements are too. As such, equal the two expressions together

5x + 7 = 8x - 71

add 71 to both sides

5x + 7 + 71 = 8x - 71 + 71

-71 and +71 cancel each other out

5x + 78 = 8x

subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x + 78 = 8x - 5x

5x - 5x cancels each other out

78 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

3x ÷ 3 = 1x which can also be written as just x

78 ÷ 3 = x

26 = x

plug in this x value into both expressions to find variables l and m

l:

5(26) + 7

130 + 7

137

m:

8(26) - 71

208 - 71

137

A clothing company makes shirts in several sizes. The smallest shirt size weighs
astraxan [27]

Answer:

25.375 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the weight of the largest shirt size, we need to find the value that is 1 3/4 times as much as the smallest shirt size. To do this, we need to multiply the two numbers (14.5 x 1 3/4). In order to make this process easier, we can convert 1 3/4 into a decimal, which would be 1.75. After that, we just multiply; 14.5 x 1.75 = 25.375. Your answer is 25.375 ounces.

Y=14x
Compare with general form:
y=kx
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
Here k=14
So 1 unit increase in x will bring 14 times increase in y.
There is a direct relation between x and y.
