Answer: 918 is the constant of variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, In see saw the weight (w) of an object is inversely proportional to the distance (d) from  the seesaw support.

That is w ∝ 1/d

or w = k/d

where k is the constant of variation.

Here, The weight of Levon, w = 153 lb

And, his distance from the see saw support, d = 6 ft

Therefore. 153 = k/6

⇒k= 153 × 6 = 918

-12 -4x + 3 = -1 what is the value of x
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Its -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−12−4x+3=−1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−12−4x+3=−1

−12+−4x+3=−1

(−4x)+(−12+3)=−1(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+−9=−1

−4x−9=−1

Step 2: Add 9 to both sides.

−4x−9+9=−1+9

−4x=8

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x

−4

=

8

−4

x=−2
