Y = kx
@ y = 216, x = 2
k = y/x = 216/2 = 108
@ x=7
y = (108)(7) = 756
3(2a+1)=-5(a+6)
First expand the brackets.
6a+3=-5a-30
Now add 5a to both sides.
11a+3=-30
Then subtract 3 from both sides.
11a=-33
Finally divide both sides by 11.
a=- 33/11
=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
by using similarity and enlargement
10/8 = 7+y/7
70=56+8y
8y=14
y= 7/4
10/8 = 5+x/5
50=40+8x
x = 8/10 = 4/5
