Answer:

35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a proportion.

Let's name the weight of the wheat flour "x."

3/5=21/x

Cross multiply to solve.

3*x=5*21

3x=105

x=35

The weight of the wheat flour is 35 pounds.

Which equation represents a proportional relationship that has a constant of proportionality equal to -10
stira [4]

Answer:

y =  - 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship has equation:

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

Since we are looking for a proportional relationship that has a constant of proportionality equal to -10, we have k=-10.

We substitute k=-10 into the equation to get:

y =  - 10x

Therefore the correct choice is

y =  - 10x

Try to answer the following question without running the code in Python:
Vikki [24]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the above lines of code

Required

What's the output

We'll analyze the code line by line

a = 2 + 6

At this point a = 8

b = 7 % 3

At this point b = 1. This is so because, the remainder of 7%3 is 1

c = a - b

At this point c = 7;

This is calculated by c = 8 - 1 = 7

c = c * 5

At this point; c = 35

This is calculated by: c = 7 * 5 = 35

print(c)

The value of c, which is 35 is printed

Question 3) 5x-26=18x This is how the equation is written if you substitute numbers for words and x for unknown number. 18x-5x =13x divide everything by 13 to get x= -2

Question 4) 63-x=2x+3 add x to each side and subtract 3 from each side to get 60=3x divide by 3 to get x=20

Question 5) -30x= -27x-63 add -27x to each side to get -3x= -63. Divide everything by -3 to get x=21

Question 6) 12x-18= 18+13x subtract 12x from both sides to get -18=18+x subtract 18 from both sides to get x=-36

Hope this helps!
