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.

At a restaurant, three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75. One salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

A salad costs $2.50

A sandwich costs $4.50

A drink costs $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.

Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:

3x + 2y + z = 17.75  (1)

Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:

x + y + 3z = 10.75  (2)

Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:

x = 2z  (3)

Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:

-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50

3x + 2y + z = 17.75

→ x - 5z = -3.75

Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:

2z - 5z = -3.75

-3z = -3.75

z = 1.25

x = 2z → x = 2.50

x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50

Whoever can answer all of these will get brainless

Firstly, brainly allows 1 question per question. So do not try this again.

Lets make the fractions all like terms.


242/4 - 37/4=205/4. Lets now make this a mixed fraction.
By doing 205/4, we find out that 4 goes in less than 51 times.

1. 51  1/4.

2. 11/2 = 66/12.....so 66/12 - 29/12= 37/12. Make it mixed fraction: 3 1/12.

3. 36/5=72/10.      72/10 - 37/10 = 35/10. As a mixed it is 3 1/2

4. 35/3 - 17/2 can be rewritten by finding their GCM (Greatest Common Multiple). In this case it is 6.

70/6 - 51/6 = 19/6. 3 1/6.
