It is easier to do if we get rid of the decimals, so lets multiply both numbers by 10:
5.8/1.2 = 58/12
and reduce the fraction:
= 29/6
then operate:
= 4.83
Given : y = -25 and x = -5
We can notice that if we Multiply 'x' with 5 we get 'y'
That is (-5) × 5 = -25
⇒ x multiplied by 5 = y
(a) The Equation that relates x and y is 5x = y
(b) We found that the Equation of this Direct variation is : 5x = y
The Question is to find the value of y when x = 3
The Value of y at x = 3 can be found by simply substituting x = 3 in the equation we found.
⇒ y = 5x
⇒ y = 5 × 3
⇒ y = 15
So, the Value of y when x = 3 is 15
Answer: two equations represent the situation are
y = 3x and y = x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller number was represented by x and its values on the x coordinate.
The larger number was represented by y and its values on the y coordinate.
The larger number is equal to 3 times a smaller number. This means that
y = 3x
Also, the sum of the smaller number and 4 is the larger number. This means that
y = x + 4
