Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically let's start with a proportion.

x/32 = 11.25/9

Cross multiply:

x * 9 = 32 * 11.25

9x = 32 * 11.25

9x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 40

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but it was based on my math. I hope this helps!

Which rule describes the relationship between the x- and y- coordinates on line m?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

None of those would be correct, the line on the graph is y = 2x - 1 because the slope of the line is 2 and the y -intercept -1.

You can also check, we know that on the graph the coordinates where the dots are located are: (2,3),(3,5),(4,7) where the first number is x and second is y coordinate.

Check answer:

Let x=2 if this is correct y should be equal to 3 because of the first point (2,3).

y = 2(2)-1 = 4 - 1 = 3

check the other points if you want to confirm.

Simplify the following expression. 3 2/5x3(-7/5)
Studentka2010 [4]

The simplified expression of 32/5 x 3(-7/5) is  -672/25

<h3>How to simplify the expression?</h3>

The mathematical expression is given as:

32/5 x 3(-7/5)

Evaluate the product of 3 and -7/5

32/5 x 3(-7/5) =  32/5 x -21/5

Evaluate the product of 32 and -21

32/5 x 3(-7/5) =  672/5 x -1/5

Evaluate the product of 5 and 5

32/5 x 3(-7/5) =  672/25 x -1

So, we have:

32/5 x 3(-7/5) =  -672/25

Hence, the simplified expression of 32/5 x 3(-7/5) is  -672/25
