Answer:

-9/6 divided by -1/8 equals 12

Step-by-step explanation:

. A negative divided by a negative is a positive so... 9/6 divided by 1/8

. To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction so... 9/6 times 8

. Reduce the fraction with 3 so... 3/2 times 8

. Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 2 so... 3 times 4

. Multiply the numbers so... 3 times 4 equals 12

P varies inversely with x. If P = 7 when x = 8, find the value of P when x = 7.

inna [77]

Answer:

P = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that P varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

P = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition P = 7 when x = 8 , then

7 = $\frac{k}{8}$ ( multiply both sides by 8 )

56 = k

P = $\frac{56}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 7 , then

P = $\frac{56}{7}$ = 8

Solve Systems of Equations Algebracallyy=x+2 y=-3x

Sphinxa [80]

y = x + 2

y = -3x

Do y = -3x in y = x + 2

y = x + 2

-3x = x + 2

-3x - x = 2

-4x = 2

x = -2/4

x = -1/2

Now put x = -1/2 in y = -3x

y = -3x

y = -3.(-1/2)

y = 3/2
