"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
Answer:
a) 
b) 
when 
Step-by-step explanation:
since y varies inversely with x.
We need to find the constant, k.
Let's use a point (x,y) on the curve.
We are given an (x,y)=(5,10):
Multiply both sides by 5:
.
So the equation is:
What is y when x=2?
Answer:
<u>42 Hours.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
As an equation where y is the total pages and x is hours of class:
y=1+1x since she started with 1 page and does 1 page per hour.
Setting the total pages she needs as 43 (y=43) we get:
43=1+1x
Subtract one on both sides
42=1x
The 1 doesn't need to be written so
x=42
Therefore, it'll take her 42 hours to write all those notes.
Answer:
x = Rs 20,833.33
the value of x is Rs 20,833.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x,y and z represent the price of the item initially, after one month and after two months respectively.
Given that;
after one month its label price is reduced by 20%
y = x - 20% of x
y = x - 0.20x
y = 0.80x ........1
after 2 months its reduced price is further reduced by 10% and then sold it for Rs 15000.
z = y - 10% of y
z = y - 0.10y
z = 0.90y ........2
Substituting equation 1 into 2;
z = 0.90(0.80x)
z = 0.72x
Also z = Rs 15000
So,
z = 0.72x = Rs 15000
0.72x = Rs 15000
x = Rs 15000/0.72
x = Rs 20833.33333333
x = Rs 20,833.33
the value of x is Rs 20,833.33
