y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x they are directly proportional, which means they relate to each other in the same way....

2 : y = 6: 48

what is y if x = 2?

The value of y can be found if you write it a two fracrions

2 : y = 6 : 48

2 / y = 6 / 48

cross multiply the fractions gives

6*y = 48 *2

divide left and right of the = sign by 6 gives the answer:

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Other method:

multiply left and right of the = sign by y

2 * y/y = y *6 / 48

6y / 48 = 2 * 1

multiply left and right of the = sign by 48

6y * 48/48 = ( 48 *2 )

6y = ( 48 *2 )

divide left and right of the = sign by 6

6/6* y = ( 48 *2 )/6

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Solve for V<br> 1 - 5V = V + 9 – 10V
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

1-5V=V+9-10V

1-5V-V-(-10V)=9

1-5V-V+10V=9

1-6V+10V=9

1+4V=9

4V=9-1

4V=8

V=8/4

V=2

In 2000, the population of a county was 25,300,987. The population decreased at a rate of 2% each year. What was the population
EastWind [94]

Answer: In 2008 the population was 21,525,144

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula for Exponential decay:

P=P_0(1-r)^t

Where P_0 is the initial population in the year 0, r is the rate of decay and t is the time.

In this case, you can identify that:

P_0=25,300,987\\\\r=2\%\\\\t=8

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula for Exponential decay, you get:

P=P_0(1-r)^t\\\\P=(25,300,987)(1-\frac{2}{100})^8\\\\P=21,525,144

Then, in 2008 the population was 21,525,144
