Answer:

JUST WRITE THIS AS YOUR ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Put together the general equation.

Step 2: Solve for the constant of proportionality.

Step 3: Plugging the constant into the equation, solve for the unknown variable.

Let's solve a few problems to see how this works, shall we?

Example 1: Y is directly proportional to x. When x = 5, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 9?

First, we set up our general equation. Because y is directly proportional to x, we have:

y = cx

where c is the constant of proportionality. In other words, when x goes up, y goes up, and when x goes down, y goes down.

The next thing we do is plug our values for x and y into the equation so we can solve for c:

8 = (c)(5)

Solving for c, we get c = 8/5 = 1.6 and we plug this into our equation:

y = 1.6x

Now, we can plug x = 9 into the equation to find out what y equals:

y = (1.6)(9)

y = 14.4

So, our answer is 14.4

Example 2: Y is directly proportional to the square of x. When x = 2, y = 32. What does y equal when x = 5?

This time, our general equation is slightly more complicated because x is squared:

y = cx2

Like before, we solve for our constant:

32 = (c)(22)

32 = (c)(4)

We get c = 8:

y = 8x2

Solving for y when x = 5, we get y = (8)(52) = (8)(25) = 200

Example 3: Y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 2, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 24?

This time, because y is inversely proportional to x, our general equation is different:

xy = c

so when x goes up, y goes down, and vise versa. But, other than that, we solve these kinds of problems the same way as direct proportion problems. Solving for the constant, we get:

(2)(8) = c

So c = 16 and our equation is now:

xy = 16

Solving for y when x = 24 we get y = 16/24 = 2/3

Example 4: Y is inversely proportional to the square root of x. When x = 36, y = 2. What does y equal when x = 64?

As before, we set up our equation:

eq001

Since the square root of 36 is 6, it is easy to solve for c:

(6)(2) = c

We get c = 12 and our equation is now:

eq002

Solving for y when x = 64 we get 8y = 12 or y = 12/8 = 1.5 because the square root of 64 is 8.

−30=5(x+1) please simplify this for khan academy. org
brilliants [131]

Answer:

-7 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

−30=5(x+1)

Divide each side by 5

−30/5=5/5 (x+1)

-6 = x+1

Subtract 1 from each side

-6-1 = x+1-1

-7 =x

Which of the following expressions are equivalent to 6 + (-4) - 5
Mila [183]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is find the answer for all of them and see which ones match

Original:

6 + (-4) - 5

6 - 4 - 5

2 - 5

<u><em>-3</em></u>

This is the answer for the original expression, now we need to see which one is the correct match....

A. -(-6 + 4 ) - 5

2 negatives being subtracted gives you a positive

6 + 4 - 5

10 - 5

5

Incorrect, so now we know its not A

B. 6 - 4 - ( -5)

Again 2 negatives give you a positive

6 - 4 + (5)

6 - 9

-3

Correct, so now we know its B

C. 6 - (4 + 5)

PEMDAS so do the parenthesis first

6 - 9

-3

Correct, so now we it's C.

D. 6 + 4 - 56

10 - 56

-46

Incorrect, so now we know its not D

E. -(-6) + (-4) - (-5)

Again, 2 negatives equal a positive

6 - 4 + 5

2 + 5

7

Incorrect so now we know its not E

The correct answer is C

Hope this helped!
