Answer:
y is 8/5 when x = -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the value of "Y" varies directly with "X", we can write y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.
If "y=-8,when x=20," then we can find k: -8 = 20k, or k = -2/5.
Then y = (-2/5)x.
If x = -4, then y = (-2/5)(-4) = 8/5
y is 8/5 when x = -4.
2x + y = 10 is y = -2x + 10
4x + 7 = 40
-7 -7
4x = 33
4 4
x = 8.25
y = -2(8.25) + 10
y = -6.5 and x = 8.25
Hope this helps :)
I've been waiting for someone to ask this question. It's one of my favorite questions to answer.
percent means out of 100 so 1% = 1/100 and 40%=40/100 or 1/25
so for percent of a number, 'of' means multiply so 40% of 500= 40/100 times 500 or 20000/100 or 200
if you multiply a fraction by its recipricol (the number fliped upside down) the you will get 1 so if you multiply 1/2 by 2/1 then you will get 1
thus
percent is out of 100 so 1%=1/100 25%=25/100
if you represent 45 out of something as 45/x then you multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction that is supposed to be equal (1/2 =2/4) then you will get 1
so 45/x times reciprocal of 100/25 then you will get 1/1 or 4500/25x
so you divide to find x and get 180
so 45 is 25% of 180
The following is extra
as stated above 'of' can be taken as multiply so
45 is 25% of 180 can be rewriten as
45=25/100 times 180
but we don't know that 180 is the answer so we replace it with x then solve for x
T 1 2 3 4
B 3 6 9 12
This is linear relationships B=3*T (it can be also called directly proportional)
