Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2(6-x)=7x+2(5+x)-6

First, distribute.

3x+ −12+ 2x = 7x + 10 + 2x −6

Combine like terms on each side.

5x − 12= 9x + 4

To solve for x, pick a side to solve. I will solve the right x.

5x - 12 = 9x + 4

-5x -5x

-12 = 4x + 4

Subtract 4 to isolate the variable.

-16 = 4x

Divide 4.

-4 = x

If y varies inversely as x and y is 2.5 when x is 6, what is y when x is 4? a. 3.75 b. 1.67 c. 0.1 d. 7.5 Please select the best

REY [17]

Because y varies inversely as x, therefore
$y= \frac{k}{x}$
where k = constant.

When x = 6, y = 2.5. Ther efore
$\frac{k}{6} = 2.5$
Cross multiply.
k = 6 x 2.5 = 15

The equation is
$y = \frac{15}{x}$

When x = 4, obtain
$y = \frac{15}{4}= 3.75$

Answer: a. 3.75
