Assume that y varies directly with x. If y = -5 when

Mathematics

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

Solve: 3(5x - 8) = 6x + 39
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Steps to solve:

3(5x - 8) = 6x + 39

~Distribute left side

15x - 24 = 6x + 39

~Add 24 to both sides

15x = 6x + 63

~Subtract 6x to both sides

9x = 63

~Divide 9 to both sides

x = 7

Best of Luck!

serg [7]
Factor and group common ones
60=2*2*3*5*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y*y*y*y
45x^5^5=3*3*5*x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y*y
75x^3y=3*5*5*x*x*x*y

the commmon gropu to all is 3*5*x*x*x*y=15x^3y

A parabola has two x intercepts at (-2 , 0) and (3 , 0) and passes through the point (5 , 10). Find the equation of this parabol
Kamila [148]
Y = a(x + 2)(x - 3) : equation of the parabola in factored form 10 = a(5 + 2)(5 - 2) : (5 , 10) is a point on the graph of the parabola and therefore satisfies the equation of the parabola. a = 5/7: solve the above equation for a.

Given: ∆ABC –iso. ∆, m∠BAC = 120°
lidiya [134]

Answer: P\triangle ADH = (a+b+\sqrt{a^2+b^2} ) unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Here Δ ABC is a isosceles triangle.

Also, AH\perp BC and HD\perp AC

Thus, ∠ ADH = 90°

That is, Δ ADH is the right angle triangle.

In which, AD = a unit and HD = b unit

And, By the definition of Pythagoras theorem,

AH^2 = HD^2 + AD^2

⇒ AH^2 = a^2 +b^2

⇒ AH = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

Since, the perimeter of a triangle = sum of the all sides of the triangle.

Therefore, perimeter of ΔADH = AD + DH + AH

= a + b + \sqrt{a^2+b^2} unit
