Answer:

p =4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Variation: Inversely

p = 12 when q = 45

Required

Determine p when q = 135

First, we need to determine the relationship between p and q

Since, it is an inverse variation.

The relationship is:

p\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{q}

Convert to an equation

p= k *\frac{1}{q}

p= \frac{k}{q}

Where k = constant of variation

Make k the subject

k = p * q

When p = 12 and q = 45

k = 12 * 45

k = 540

To solve for p when q = 135

Substitute 135 for q and 540 for k in p= \frac{k}{q}

p = \frac{540}{135}

p =4

Explain the difference between buying and leasing and automobile.
sashaice [31]
When you buy a car you have all the money upfront ready either in cash, check, etc. Leasing is when you have a little bit or most of the money. Because you dont have all of it you pay for the car monthly and pay a little bit more than the actual value of the car as interest for "borrowing" their money since you couldn't afford the entire value of the car upfront. The more money you put down at the time of leasing, the less the interest usually is.

An angle's supplement is nine times of its complementary angle. Find the measure of the angle, the complement of the angle,and t
Nezavi [6.7K]
S = 9C
first sentence written as an expression
Where S represents the angles supplement
and C represents the angles complement
A + S = 180
definition of supplementary allows me to make this statement Where A is the original angle
A + C = 90
definition of complimentary allows this statement
now add the prior 2 statements together
A + S + A + C = 180 + 90
now simplify
2A + S + C = 270
now replace S with 9C using first statement
2A + 9C + C = 270
now simplify
2A + 10C = 270
now divide both sides by 2
A + 5C = 135
now using the second statement isolate A by adding C to both sides
A = 90 - C
now combine the two prior statements
90 - C + 5C = 135
now simplify
90 + 4C = 135
now subtract 90 from both sides
4C = 45
now divide both sides by 4
C = 11.25
so the complimentary angle is 11.25
now take the third equation and substitute in C
A + 11.25 = 90
now subtract 11.25 from both sides
A = 78.75
so the original angle is 78.75
now use the second equation and substitute in A
78.75 + S = 180
now subtract 78.75 from both sides
S = 101.25
so the suplimentary angle is 101.25
