Answer: 480 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using direct proportion whereby y = kx

where,

x = patient's weight = 92 pounds

k = constant

y = milligrams of antibiotics = 320

Using y = kx

320 = 92k

k = 320/92

k = 3.4782609

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds will be:

y = kx

y = 3.4782609 × 138

y = 480 milligrams

The antibiotic that should be given to a patient who weighs 138 pounds is 480 milligrams.

Turn 3x+8y=14.50 in a y equals equation
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y= (-3x +14.50) / 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the 8y

Subtract 3x from both sides

8y = -3x + 14.50

Then, isolate the left to only y

y= (-3x +14.50) / 8
