Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If x varies directly as the product of p and m, and inversely with y, the relation can be written ...
x = k(pm)/y . . . . where k is the constant of proportionality
__
This can be solved for k:
k = xy/pm
For the given values, the value of k is ...
k = (2)(4)/((0.5)(2)) = 8
Then the relation between the variables can be written ...
(xy)/(pm) = 8
You can add a lot of numbers (or so I think). One number I think you can add is 31.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation, you can't write equations as decimals. I think you're asking for x (as a decimal)?
Add 8 to each side: 4+8= 8+(-8)+3x
12=3x
x=4
This is a whole number so it's already in decimal form
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x isnt used because it stated when x>1.
so -2(1) is -2, because x =< 1 is true
