Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse variation is

xy = k where k is the constant of variation

8*9 = k

72 = k

xy = k

Let y = 12

x*12 = 72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 =72/12

x = 6

Since you are talking about money, you would round up. 

Meaning that the answer should be D.

Nastasia [14]
The first thing we must do for this case is to take into account the following variable:
 x = speed in miles per hour
 Then, by definition we have to:
 d = v * t
 Where,
 d: distance
 v: speed
 t: time
 Substituting values:
 250 = x * 5
 Answer:
 
An equation that can be used to find the speed of the train is:
 
250 = x * 5

Please use elimination<br> 3х - бу = 18<br> 2x + 2y = 6
Molodets [167]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 6y = 18

2x + 2y = 6 -> 3(2x + 2y = 6)

3x - 6y = 18 -> Cross out - 6y

6x + 6y = 18 -> Cross out + 6y

9x = 36 -> Divide 9 on both sides.

X = 4
