If you’re using distributive property you’re answer would be... -6x+12 hope I helped !
Answer:
y = -51 ÷ x
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard format of a inversely proportional equation goes by the format of y = k ÷ x. The question asks us to write an equation if y = -3 when x = 17 and y varies inversely with x.
So we substitute the values y = -3 and x = 17 in the equation y = k ÷ x
K = constant, we have to work this out
-3 = k ÷ 17
-3 × 17 = k
k = -3 × 17
k = -51
k = -51 So then we put this back into the original y = k ÷ x to find our final equation which is y = -51 ÷ x
The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction
Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8
Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.
Cost by which sweater was reduced=
* 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.
