Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x and y vary directly then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 25 when y = 100 , then

100 = 25k ( divide both sides by 25 )

4 = k

y = 4x ← equation of variation

When y = 24 , then

24 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

6 = x

How to rearrange this equation to get v by itself

s344n2d4d5 [400]

V^2/(1-v^2/c^2)=R
v^2=R(1-v^2/c^2)
v^2=R-Rv^2/c^2
v^2-Rv^2/c^2=R
v^2(1-R/c^2)=R
v=sqrt(R/(1-R/c^2))
where R was original right side, dont forget plus minus

Unit rate feet per second 180 miles over 2 hours

Tatiana [17]

So that is equal to 180 miles per 2 hours which is 90 miles per hour if each hour has the same m/hr rate.
You can set up a proportion:
let x = number of miles per hour
$\frac{x}{180} = \frac{1}{2}$
cross multiply and you get
2x=180
divide both sides by 2 and you get
x=90
so you get the same answer both ways,
90 miles per hour

6+n/60=15/90<br><br> How do I dolce this

Lilit [14]

$6+\frac{n}{60}=\frac{15}{90}\\\\6+\frac{n}{60}=\frac{1}{6}\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 60\\\\360+n=10\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 360\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{n=-350}$
