If x varies directly with y and x = -3 when y = 12, what is the constant of variation?

Mathematics

Answer:

k = - \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x varies directly with y then the equation relating them is

x = ky ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = - 3 when y = 12

- 3 = 12k ( divide both sides by 12 )

\frac{-3}{12} = k , that is

k = - \frac{1}{4}

Help me solve those show work 3(2a-5)=12-7a, 27=3c-3(6-2c)and 6c-8-2c=-16
posledela
3(2a-5) = 12-7a
6a-15=12-7a
6a+7a=12+15
13a= 27

27=3c-3(6-2c)
27=3c-18+6c
27+18=3c+6c
45=9c
C=45/9
C=5

6c-8-2c=-16
6c-2c=-16+8
4c=-8
C=-8/4
C=-2

cylinder:

V = πr²h

V = 3.14(2)² * 3

V = 3.14(4) * 3

V = 3.14(12)

V = 37.7m³

rectangular prism:

V = lwh

V = (2.4)(9)(5)

V = 108m³

the entirety of the sculpture:

V = volume of cylinder + volume of rectangular prism

V = 37.7 + 108

<u>V = 145.7m³</u>

Maggie buys 5 apples and 4 oranges for $10 and Lynn buys 5 apples and 5 oranges for $11. What is the price for an apple and what
nlexa [21]
Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:

1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11

set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1

sub “o” into one of the eqn

5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2

therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20

Jeremy is taking a photography class, but he doesn't own a camera. The class organizers will rent him a camera for $6 per day. J
Mazyrski [523]
Solving the given inequality for d, we get...

6d + 15 < 50
6d + 15-15 < 50-15 <<-- subtract 15 from both sides
6d < 35
6d/6 < 35/6 <<--- divide both sides by 6
d < 5.83

Which means that d can be any of the values in this set: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

The smallest d can be is 0. In this scenario, Jeremy pays the $15 registration but doesn't rent the camera at all
The largest d can be is 5. In this scenario, Jeremy rents the camera for 5 days
Any larger value of d is not allowed as it would make the total cost go over $50
Notice how I'm rounding down regardless how close 5.83 is to 6
