Answer:

The answer is : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is that y varies directly as x.

Means as y increases or decreases, x also increases or decreases.

When y is 6 when x is 72,

So, when x = 8, we have to find y.

We can write the relation as follows:

\frac{6}{y}= \frac{72}{8}

72y=48

y=\frac{48}{72} = \frac{2}{3}

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly as x

Y =kx

Y=6 when x = 72

First find the relationship between y and x.

i.e find the value of k

Substitute the value of x and y

6 = k *72

Make k the subject of the formula

K = 6/72

K= 1/12

:. The rlationship between x and y is

Y = 1/12x

When x is 8

Y = 1/12 * 8

Y = 8/12

Y = 2/3 and that is the answer

Hope it helped you

Gina, Sam, and Robby all rented movies from the same video store. They each rented some dramas, comedies, and documentaries. Gin
weqwewe [10]
Solve using equations:

Gina 11 = a+b+c
Sam 27 = 2a+3b+2c
Robby 19= a+2b+2c

Gina *2 give 22=2a+2b+2c (subtract this from Sam to give)
b=5

the subtract Robby from Gina *2 to give a=3



[Question 1]
let d = number of dramas Gina rented, c = # of comedies, and t = # of documentaries:

[equation a] d + c + t = 11
[equation b] 2d + 3c + 2t = 27
[equation c] d + 2c + 2t = 19

if we subtract [a] from [c] we get:
[equation d] c + t = 8

if we subtract [c]*2 from [b] we get:
[equation e] -c - 2t = -11 or
[equation e] c + 2t = 11

Now we can subtract [e] from [d] to solve for t:
t = 3

Now put in 3 for t in [d] or [e] to solve for c:
c + 2(3) = 11
c + 6 = 11
c = 5

So she rented 5 comedies and 3 documentaries which leaves 3 dramas (which is answer A)
