Answer:

The value of y at x=-1 is 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that y varies directly with x. It means y is directly proportional to x.

y\propto x

y=kx              .... (1)

where, k is constant of proportionality.

It is given that y=-3 when x=5.

Substitute y=-3 and x=5 in equation (1).

-3=k(5)

-\frac{3}{5}=k

The value of k is -3/5.

y=-\frac{3}{5}x          .... (2)

We need to find the value of y when x=-1.

Substitute x=-1 in equation (2).

y=-\frac{3}{5}(-1)

y=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore the value of y at x=-1 is 3/5.

\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x

&&  y={{ k }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{we know that, when}
\begin{cases}
y=-3\\
x=5
\end{cases}\implies y=kx\implies (-3)=k(5)

solve for "k", to find the "constant of variation",
then plug it back in the y = kx, to get the equation
now
what's is y when x = -1?
well, just plug that in the equation with the found "k" value,
to get "y" :)

Evaluate the expression when: A=2, B=1, C=4<br> A+6/CB
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Imma rewrite the question as: 2+6/41

2+6=8

i think since the letters were next to each other u multiply?? Is so...:

4x1=4

8+4=12

=12

but if u add the letters next to eachother....

2+6=8

4+1=5

8+5=13

=13

or if u use “41” as a whole number and add it in..:

2+6=8

8+41=49

=49

A football stadium holds 17,700 seats. The lower level has 300 seats less than 4 times the number of seats in the upper level. T
grigory [225]

Answer:

6x + 200 = 17,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Lower level = 4x - 300

Mid level = 2x + 500

Combine the two equations to find the number of seats in the upper level

(2x + 500) × (4x - 300) = 17,000

Combine like terms

4x × 2x + 500 - 300 = 17,000

<em>6x + 200 = 17,000</em>
