Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

SINCE Y VARIES DIRECTLY WITH X, WE USE THE FORMULA

y=kx; k representing the variable change, y= 7.5, x=5

> y=kx

>7.5= k(5) > 7.5= 5k

>k= 7.5/5    (divide to get the k)

k= 1.5

NOW REPLACE THE NEW VALUES OF X AND K AS THE VARIABLE CHANGE, TO FIND THE VALUE OF Y

>y=kx       ; k=1.5 and x=15    y=?

>y= (1.5)(15)

>y=22.5

the value of y is 22.5 when x is 15

Humans have a normal body temperature of 98.6 F A temperature, x, that differs from normal by at least 2°F is considered unhealt
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: 98.6 - x ≥ 2 or x - 98.6 ≥ 2  

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the normal temperature = 98.6° F

Also, the temperature that differs from normal by at least 2°F is considered unhealthy.

If the temperature is x degree F,

Then, we have two conditions,

Condition 1 : x > 98.6,

The difference between 98.6 and x = x - 98.6

Then the inequality be,

x - 98.6 ≥ 2

Condition 2 : x < 98.6

The difference between 98.6 and x = 98.6 - x

Then the inequality be,

98.6 - x ≥ 2

Let x = the price for theater ticket
so, x + 60 = 450
