Answer:

  • y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reading rate is y pages per x minutes and proportional relationship formula is:</u>

  • y = kx

<u>The coefficient is:</u>

  • k = y/x

<u>Let's verify if the given numbers fit into the same relationship:</u>

  • 12/18 = 2/3
  • 8/12 = 2/3
  • 20/30 = 2/3

We confirm all same and it means k = 2/3

<u>Required equation is:</u>

  • y = 2/3x

This represents that Michael reads 2 pages per 3 minutes and for x minutes he reads 2/3x pages

Solve the following compound inequality <br> 12 &lt; 2x-4/3 &lt; 16 <br> step by step
motikmotik

Answer:

x∈(20/3;26/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

12 < 2x-4/3 < 16

first we add 4/3 to each side

12+4/3<2x<16+4/3

we bring to the same denominator

12*3/3+4/3<2x<16*3/3+4/3

(36+4)/3<2x<(48+4/3)

40/3<2x<52/3

now we divide by 2

20/3<x<26/3

x∈(20/3;26/3)
