.The conversion of square feet to square yards can be represented by direct variation. Three square yards are equivalent to 27 s

quare feet. Let y represent the number of square yards and x the number of square feet. Then y varies directly with x.

Answer:

The constant of variation is 1/9

The equation representing the direct variation is y/x= 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

In direct variation, y/x=k denotes the equation, with k being the constant of variation. Here, y is the number of square yards and x is the number of square feet. Therefore, as we know that 27 square feet = 3 square yards, we can write one point (x₁, y₁) as (27 square feet, 3 square yards). Plugging x₁ and y₁ into our equation, we get

y/x = k

3 / 27 = k

(3/27) / (3/3) = 1/9* = k

Therefore, the constant of variation is 1/9

Next, as stated previously, y/x = k represents the equation of direct variation. Therefore, y / x = 1/9 as our equation

* because 3 is a factor of both 3 and 27, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to keep the fraction the same but also simplify it. One way to find the greatest common factor is to list the factors of each number and see the highest number that is a factor of both

4x-y=2 2x+9y=-12 unsure how to solve
Anna11 [10]
Simple, use the process of elimination to figure this out:

4x-y=2
2x+9y=-12

Convert these, to be able to find either x or y.

2(4x-y=2)   8x-2y=4   multiply by 2.
then
4(2x+9y=-12)  8x+36y=-48

Which makes them

8x-2y=4
-
8x+36y=-48

-38y=52

This simplified makes it y= -26/19.

Then plug y back into the original equation

4x-y=2

4x-(-26/19)=2

Making it x= 3/19.

Thus your Point of Intersection is at (3/19, -26/19)

Last year, Josh had $20,000 to invest. He invested some of it in an account that paid 7% simple interest per year, and he invest
Ilya [14]

Answer: $12000 was invested at 7% while $8000 was invested at 9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, let the amount that was invested at 7% be n.

Therefore,

0.07n + 0.09(20000 - n) = 1560

0.07n + 1800 - 0.09n = 1560

-0.02n = 1560 - 1800

-0.02n = -240

n = 240/0.02

n = 120

Therefore, $12000 was invested at 7% while $8000 was invested at 9%.
