The answer is Cu = X times 2.5
Substitution!
<span>y = 4x – 10...(1)
y = 2...(2)
You have y=2 here, substitute it in equation (1),
</span><span>y = 4x – 10
</span><span>2 = 4x – 10
</span>Add both sides by 10
12=4x
Divide both sides by 4
x=3
We have x=3, and y=2. ==> (x,y) = (3,2)
3 equivalent ratios or 5/2
10 /4
20/8
30/12
your answer would be 17/25
If you can rewrite the formula as (x-a)² + (y-b)² = r², the center is at (a,b) and the radius is r.
If you work out this equation, and map it to the original, you will find that the +4x term hints that a = 2 (double product) and -12y hints that b=-6, and r=6.
So, the formula can be written as (x+2)² + (y-6)² = 6² and the center is at (-2,6) and the radius is 6.
