Answer:

After 59 months the new dryer will pay for itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the new clothes dryer takes 'x' months to pay for itself.

Then the operating cost of the new dryer will be = 15x

Since cost of the new dryer = $590

So, total cost of the dryer in x months = $(590 + 15x)

Now we know old dryer's operating cost is = $25 per month

So, operating cost for x months = 25x

By the time when new dryer's total cost becomes equal to the old dryer's operational cost, the new dryer will pay for itself.

Now we can get the value of x by equating the old dryer's operational cost and the new dryer's total cost.

25x = 590 + 15x

25x - 15x = 590

10x = 590

x = \frac{590}{10}

x = '59 months'

Is y/7 = 2/x direct variation?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

It is not direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

y/7 = 2/x

y = 7×2/x

y = 14/x

And

y = k/x

k = 14 which is the constant of proportionality

: y ∞ 1/x

This is inverse variation

Molly is designing a dog house for her puppy that has a rectangular base. The length of the base is 7 inches more than its width
Mariana [72]

We assume w is the number of <em>inches</em> of width (as opposed to <em>feet</em> or some other measure). The length is 7 inches more than the width, so is w+7. The area is the product of these dimensions, and the problem statement tells us that area is greater than 375 in².

... w(w+7) > 375 . . . . . the inequality that can be used to find dimensions

Katarina [22]

Answer:

It will take 56 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

A water hose used one -eighth of a gallon of water and every second. This means that the flow rate is

1/8 gallon per second.

If Halsey need to fill up 7 gallons sized containers, let x represent the number of seconds that it will take Halsey to fill up 7 gallons. Therefore,

1/8 gallons = 1 second

7 gallons = x seconds.

Cross multiplying,

1/ 8 × x = 7 × 1

x/8 = 7

x = 8 ×7 = 56 seconds
