For a school fund raising project, Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8. Jacob collected $115.50 more than

user100 [1]

X - the amount of money collected by Aiden
y - the amount of money collected by Jacob

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8.
$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3.5}{6.8} \\
6.8x=3.5y \\
x=\frac{3.5}{6.8}y \\ x=\frac{35}{68}y$

Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden.
$x+115.5=y \\
x=y-115.5 \\ \\
x=x \\
\frac{35}{68}y=y-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-y=-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-\frac{68}{68}y=-115.5 \\
-\frac{33}{68}y=-115.5 \\
y=-115.5 \times (-\frac{68}{33}) \\
y=238 \\ \\
x=y-115.5=238-115.5=122.5 \\ \\
x+y=238+122.5=360.5$

The total amount of money they collected is $360.50.

Y = -x - 1 and y = 1/2x + k intersect at the point (-2,1). Find the value of k.

Lena [83]

Answer:

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2,1) = (x,y) So you substitute -2 and 1 for x and y

1 = -(-2) - 1 1 = 1/2 × -2 + k

1/2 × -2 = -1 -1 + 2 = 1

k = 2 1 = 1/2 × -2 + 2

I hope this helps

The variables x and y vary directly. When x is 3, y is 6. Find x when y = 2/3

nasty-shy [4]

X=3
y=6

y=2x
2/3=2x
(2/3)/2=x
(2/3)×(1/2)=x
2/6=x
x=1/3

haiely created another problem involving 2 rectangles she says 2 rectangles have the same area javito says that her statement is

Verizon [17]

Her statement is possible, the first rectangle could be equal to the second because x is unknown so if x was 5in in the first rectangle and - 1 in the second rectangle both problems would look like this 2 in & 5 in and the second one 5in & (2 in = (-1 +3)).
