Answer:
x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, you set the equations as equal to each other:
Then you simplify:
Answer:
<em>The cost of 10 cm and 70 cm are £0.55 and £3.85 respectively.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Material for a dress costs £5.50 per meter.
We know that, <u>1 meter = 100 cm</u>.
Suppose, the cost of 10 cm material is 
and the cost of 70 cm material is 
Now, <u>according to the ratio of "cost" to the "length of material"</u> , we will get.......
and
So, the cost of 10 cm material is £0.55 and the cost of 70 cm material is £3.85
Direct Proportion functions look like this:
y=kx
'k' is the constant of proportionality and in this case its 7.5 or 15/2.
--------------------------------------------
When x=1, y=7.5
When x=2, y=15
When x=3, y=22.5
Therefore y is directly proportional to x.

DIRECT PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
Say a football costs £7.50. If you buy one football you'll have to pay out £7.50, but if you you buy two footballs you'll have to pay out £15.00. Therefore the cost of the football(s) is directly proportional to the amount of footballs you buy. C=cost, f=football(s) and C<span>∝f, therefore C=kf, but as k=7.5, C=7.5f.
INVERSE PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
If it were to take 8 hours for one bricklayer to set up a wall, how long would it take for two bricklayers to set up a wall? The answer in this case would be 4 hours.
T=time to set up a wall
b=bricklayer(s)
Therefore T</span><span>∝1/b, and T=k/b. In this case k=8 so T=8/b.
When b=1, T=8.
When b=2, T=4.
We'd say that the time it would take for bricklayers to set up a wall would be inversely proportional to the amount of bricklayers available.</span>
Answer:
-34b4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the variables are the same b4, you just add the constants (-16 & -18).
