If y varies directly with x, and y = 2 when x = −4, what is the value of y when x = 20

Answer:

y = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 2 when x = - 4, that is

2 = - 4k ( divide both sides by - 4 )

= k, that is

k = -  

y = -  x ← equation of variation

When x = 20, then

y = -  × 20 = - 10

The sum of two numbers is 53. if twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26, find both numbers.
EastWind [94]
Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53   (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a -  3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
       5b = 80
         b = 80/5
         b = 16

Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37

The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
