Answer:

Thus, the value of x = -36 when y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if y varies directly with x, we can express the relationship such as

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called constant of variation.

Given

y = -5

x = 12

Using the equation

k = y/x = -5/12

Thus, the value of k = -5/12

Finding x when y = 15

y = 15

k = -5/12

substituting y = 15 and k = -5/12 in the equation

y = kx

15 = -5/12 (x)

15×12 = -5x

180 = -5x

divding both sides by -5

-5x/-5 = 180/-5

x = -36

Thus, the value of x = -36 when y = 15

The sum of two numbers is nine. Using x to represent the larger of the two numbers, translate "the difference between one more t
Naddik [55]

Answer:

We have that the sum of two numbers  is 9

this can be written as:

x + y  = 9

where x is the larger number.

Now we want to write:

"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"

First, remember that the difference between A and B is:

A - B

Then "the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"

is:

"one more than the larger number" = ( x + 1)

"twice the smaller number" = 2*y

the difference between these is:

(x + 1) - 2*y

Now we can simplify:

We know that:

x + y = 9

then:

y = 9 - x

replacing that in the equation:

(x + 1) - 2*y

we would get:

x + 1 - 2*(9 - x)

x + 1  -18 + 2x

(x + 2x) + (1 - 18)

3x - 17

This means that we can write:

"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"

as: 3x - 17

What is the order of the steps to solve for x in the equation 3x-6x-7=29
dexar [7]
First, you should combine the x terms:

-3x - 7 = 29

Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.

-3x = 22

Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.

x = -22/3 or -7.33

⚠URGENT!!!⚠ <br><br> solve for m.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Read the following carefully.

There is a beautiful theorem that has to do with the endpoints of two angles sharing the same endpoints.  

To be a little clearer, I hope, that makes < BAC = <BDC because both angles have B and C as their endpoints inside the circle. Make sure you understand that statement before moving on.

For this problem <BDC = <CAB = 33 degrees.

That means that ADC = 37 + 33 = 70

Solution

<ADC and CBA are opposite angles.

That means that they add to 180

From the above statement in the Remark section <ADC = 37 + 33 = 70 degrees <ABD + <DBC = <ABC = m + 71

<ABC + ADC = 180

m + 71 + 70 = 180        Combine

m + 141 = 180               Subtract 141 from both sides.

m+141-141= 180 - 141    Combine

m = 39

Answer: m = 39
