Answer:

x−3=x−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (2x−1)−7, then set it equal to 2.

Subtract 7 from −1 = 2x−8

Solve 2x−8=2.

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

Add 8 to both sides of the equation=2x=2+8

Add 2 and 8=2x=10

Divide each term by 2 and simplify.

Divide each term in 2x=10 by 2=2x/2=10/2

Cancel the common factor of 2

Cancel the common factor=10/2

Divide x by 1=x=10/2

Divide 10 by 2=x=5

Remove parentheses=x−3

List all of the solutions.

(2x−1)−7=2=x=5

x−3=x−3

The amount of caffeine consumed from a glass of Diet Pepsi is proportional to the number of ounces that was drank. The table bel

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Constant of proportionality: $k=3$

Equation: $c=3d$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Direct proportion equations have the following form:

$y=kx$

Where "k" is the Constant of proportionality.

In this case, let be "c" the the amount of caffeine consumed (in mg) from a glass of Diet Pepsi and "d" the number of ounces that was drank.

So, the equation that represents this relationship will have this form:

$c=kd$

Then, the first step is to find the Constant of proportionality "k".

Knowing that:

$c=24;d=8$

We can substitute values into the equation:

$24=k(8)$

Now, solving for "k", we get:

$\frac{24}{8}=k\\\\k=3$

Therefore, we can write the following equation that represents that proportional relationship:

$c=3d$
