\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}x~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} y=6\\ x=2 \end{cases}\implies 6=k(2)\implies \cfrac{6}{2}=k\implies 3=k \\\\\\ therefore\qquad \boxed{y=3x} \\\\\\ \textit{when y = 12, what is \underline{x}?}\qquad 12=3x\implies \cfrac{12}{3}=x\implies 4=x

I got an answer but im really not sure if its right so please help
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

60 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that y = 74 because they are vertical angles, and 46 = the angle across from it (there is a theorem for it). Since one line is 180 degrees, and you already know the two sides next to x, which is 74 and 46, you can do 180 - 74 - 46. Your final answer should be 60 degrees.

Answer: b) they loaded 112356 lbs of cargo

Step-by-step explanation:

When a boat or an object floats in water, the volume of water that it displaces is equivalent to its weight.

When moving into the port, the cargo boat displaced 2200 ft³ of water. Since the density of water is 62.42 lb/ft³ and mass = density × volume, then the mass of the cargo boat on entering the port is

2200 × 62.42 = 137324 lbs

On leaving the port, it displaces 4000 ft³ of water. The mass of the cargo boat on leaving the port is

4000 × 62.42 = 249680 lbs

The difference in both masses is

249680 - 137324 = 112356 lbs

Therefore, they loaded 112356 lbs of cargo

Answer:

w < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the inequality is an OPEN circle, that means the sign is < or >

Since the sign is going to the left that means it's < or ≤

The one that has both of these effects is <

Since the sign starts at 7, the inequality is w < 7
