Suppose y varies directly with x. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. Then find the value of y when x=12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are directly proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable.

Given that y varies directly with x, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression becomes

y = kx

If y = 8 when x = 3, then

8 = 3k

k = 3/8

Therefore, the direct variation equation that relates x and y is

y = 3x/8

When x = 12, then

y = 3 × 12/8

y = 4.5

scoray [572]
Distance = 100 m = 100/1000 = 0.1 km speed of train = 50 km/hr speed of horse = 56 km/hr resultant speed = (56 – 50) 6 km/hr time = distance/speed time = 0.1/6 = 1/60 hr = 1 min

Jack reads his book for 8 minutes before school and 10 minutes after school. He attends school Monday through Friday. Which equa
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

<h2>90 min or 1hr 30 mins</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though the options to choose from are not given in this question we can try and lay our hand on the most likely equation for the number of minutes Jack reads his book.

firstly on a daily Jack reads a total of = 8+10 = 18 mins

He attends school from Mon- fri = 5 days

Now on a weekly basis jack reads = 5*18

in other words, the equation is simply the number of days times the time spent to read his book per day

hence this is  = 90 min or 1hr 30 mins

when you subtract one negative integer from another will your answer be greater than or less than integer you started with? Expl
pshichka [43]
Lets take   (-4) - (-6) 
             = -4 + 6     (here we changed the sign because in integers when you are                                                     subtracting <span>an integer, we put its opposite..thats the rule .)
            =. -4 + 6 = 2

so here we got the answer as 2 .....this shows that </span>your answer will be less than the integer you started with ....this is because here in subtraction we will first change the sign and then follow the same rules of addition ...so here if both the numbers have opposite signs then we subtract and put the greater number sign .....
<span>
Hope i am right !!!</span>

Breakfast at the local cafe costs Harry $38.70 without taxes. He wants to leave a 15 percent tip. How much should he tip?

To find 15% of something, you would multiply 0.15 by the number you are trying to find 15% of.
