Answer:
500 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p
Let the distance from the object be represented by d.
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.
Written mathematically, we have:

Introducing the constant of proportionality

If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object

Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:

When d=3 Inches

The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.
You divide -15 on both sides to keep the x alone
-240/ -15=16
A negative divided by a negative is a positive so x=16
Answer:
<em>The expression is </em><em>P - 5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Rihanna already made a deposit of $5 to buy the necklace (given)
Full price of necklace = P
Let m = how much Rihanna has left to pay
Full price of necklace = amount paid + amount left to pay
= 5 + m
So we equate the two full necklace prices
5 + m = P
m = P - 5
Therefore, the amount Rihanna owes before tax = P - 5
Total number of possible outcomes:12
Number of favourable outcomes:2( since only two numbers divisible by 5 in that range are 5 and 10)
The possibility that you'll pick a number divisible by 5 is 2/12 or 1/6
