J ---- P --- K

JP = 2x
PK = 7x
JK = 27

2x + 7x = 27
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3

The value of P is 3.

JP = 2x = 2(3) = 6
PK = 7x = 7(3) = 21

vfiekz [6]
<span>At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $44.50 when the number of gallons sold is 10, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 15.5.

Solution:
As the question mentioned the direct relationship between the quantities, hence 
10 gallons of gasoline sold =  $44.50
15.5 gallons of gasoline sold = $x
by cross multiplication, we get that
10x = 15.5 * 44.50
which implies that
x = 68.975
Thus by $</span>68.975 revenue is obtained by selling 15.5 gallons of gasoline.

an art teacher has 1 1/2 pounds of red clay and 3/4 pound of yellow clay.The teacher mixes the red clay and yellow clay together
Nataly [62]
Well, seeing as how she mixed the clay, she has a total of 2 2/8 pounds clay (unsimplified). Although we don't know how many students she has in one class, with simple division of this number we can figure out how many student can finish the project. Removing the 2/8, we can already tell 2 students can do it, so that's a start. Now to divide the 2 pounds into 8ths. Each pound is enough for 8 students, so the 2 pounds totals to 16. Now add the extra 2 students, it's 18 total students. Hope I explained it well enough!

mafiozo [28]
The highest pre-tax price I can pay =x
I suggest this equation:
x+(8/100)x=120
least common multiple=100
100x+8x=12000
108x=12000
x=12000/108
x=111.11111...≈111.11$

The highest pre-tax price that i can pay without going over budget is $111.11
