Variable y varies directly with variable x. If x = 12, then y = 3. What is the value of y

Answer:

<h2>y = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y when x = 8 we must first find the relationship between the two variables.

The statement

y varies directly with variable x is written as

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

when

x = 12

y = 3

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for k

That's

3 = 12k

Divide both sides by 12

k =  \frac{1}{4}

So the formula for the variation is

y =  \frac{1}{4} x

when

x = 8

y =  \frac{1}{4}  \times 8

we have the final answer as

<h3>y = 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

x1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

(x+5)(x-1)

And we want to find the value of x such that the expression is positive. So, we can write this as the following inequality:

(x+5)(x-1)>0

Solve for the inequality. First, we can solve for the zeros like a normal quadratic. So, pretend the inequality is with an equal sign:

(x+5)(x-1)=0

Zero Product Property:

x+5=0\text{ or } x-1=0

On the left, subtract 5.

On the right, add 1.

So, our zeros are:

x=-5, 1

Since our inequality is a <em>greater than</em>, our answer is an "or" inequality with our answer being all the values to the <em>left</em> of our lesser zero and all the values to the <em>right </em>of our greater zero.

So, our solution is:

x1

And we're done!

I don't get it can u help me??

Just look at the percentages and make them into fractions. You can think about it like money. 50 cents is half of a dollar, so %50 is 1/2. for the decimals, you just take the percent and put a decimal point in front of the answer, so 28% is .28, 50% is .50, 18% is .18. For fraction to decimals, you could just put 1 divided by 4 into a calculator and it will tell you .25, which is the decimal, and 25 cents is one fourth of a dollar, so it works out.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!
