Let the number of chemistry books be x and the number of calculus books be y
total number of books in each case is:
x+y=24
x=24-y.....i

Weight of each case:
2707.2/20
=135.36
thus
4.2x+6.0y=135.36..ii substituting i in ii
4.2(24-y)+6y=135.36
100.8-4.2y+6y=135.36
hence
1.8y=34.56
y=19.2
hence
x=24-19.2
x=4.8
thus the number of chemistry books was 4.8*20=96 number of calculus was
19.2*20
=384 books

Find the coordinates of the missing endpoint if m is the midpoint of ab. a(-9, -4) and m(-7, -2.5)
Julli [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

As m is the midpoint, so

m(x, y) = m (-7, -2.5)

The other point a is given by

a(x₁, y₁) = a(-9, -4)

To determine

We need to determine the coordinates of the point b

= ?

Using the midpoint formula

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

substituting (x, y) = (-7, -2.5), (x₁, y₁) = (-9, -4)

\left(-7,\:-2.5\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+\left(-9\right)}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+\left(-4\right)}{2}\right)

Thus equvating,

Determining the x-coordinate of b

[x₂ + (-9)] / 2 = -7

x₂ + (-9) = -14

x₂ - 9 = -14

adding 9 to both sides

x₂ - 9 + 9 = -14 + 9

x₂ = -5

Determining the y-coordinate of b

[y₂ + (-4)] / 2 = -2.5

y₂ + (-4) = -2.5(2)

y₂ - 4 = -5

adding 4 to both sides

y₂ - 4 + 4 = -5 + 4

y₂ = -1

Therefore, the coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

If y varies directly as x and y = 3 when x = - 9, then find x when y = 5.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

d. - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y = kx

We know y =3 when x = -9

3 = k(-9)

Divide by -9

3/-9 = -9k/-9

-1/3 = k

The equation is then

y = -1/3 x

We know y = 5

5 = -1/3 x

Multiply each side by -3

-3*5 = -3*-1/3x

-15 = x
