Answer:

y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Direct Variation is y=kx or k=y/x. In this case I would use k=y/x. If you're y is 8 and x is 3, this means that K=8/3. Using this, we know that X=15. We have to find a Y value so that the fraction with an x of 15 simplified is 8/3. To do this you would write 8/3 and y/15. Now cross multiply to get 3y=120. Divide by 3 to get y=40.

You are mowing a lawn. After 12 minutes, 52% of the lawn still needs mowed. How long does it take to mow the entire lawn? Write

12/x = 52/48
12 * 48 = 52x
x = 11.07 This is one way to do it.

Let the time = x
Let the part of the lawn = y

The general equation
y = k*x
52/100 = k * 12
k = 0.043333
y = 0.043333*x
y = 0.043333* 11.08
y = 0.48 which is what it should be.

Yet another way is to let y = kx
52 = k*12
k = 52/12
k = 4.33333333

y = 4.333333 * x
y = 4.333333 * 48
48 = 4.333333 * x
x = 11.07 which is just what you should expect.

Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle.

alexdok [17]

When a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles are supplementary.

x + 2 + 3x + 6 = 180
4x + 8 = 180
4x = 172
x = 43

Now solve for A
3(43) + 6 = A
129 + 6 = A
135 = A

The measure of angle A is 135 degrees.

Hope this helps =)
