There may be more than one way in which to answer this question. I will assume that the "equation" is a linear one: f(x) = mx + b.
Then (16/3) = m(1) + b
This is one equation in two unknowns, so it does not have a unique solution. Was there more to this problem than you have shared?
If we assume that the y-intercept (b) is zero, then y = mx, and
16/3 = 1m, so that m = 16/3, and so y = (16/3)x.
Answer: 200 bulbs will not be defective.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of defective bulbs to good bulbs produced each day is 2 to 10. This ratio can also be expressed as 1 to 5 by reducing to lowest terms.
The total ratio is the sum of the proportions.
Total ratio = 1 + 5 = 6
This means that if n bulbs is produced, the number of defective bulbs would be
1/6 × n
The number of non defective would be
5/6 × n
Since n = 240, then the number of bulbs that will not be defective is
5/6 × 240 = 200 bulbs
Let
x = the number of tapers (each coss $1)
y = the number of pillars (each costs $4)
z = the number of jars (each costs $6)
There are 8 candles in each basket, therefore
x + y + z = 8 (1)
The cost per basket is $24, therefore
x + 4y + 6z = 24 (2)
The number of tapers equals the sum of pillars and jars, therefore
x = y + z (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and into (2).
y + z + y + z = 8
2y + 2z = 8
y + z = 4 (4)
y + z + 4y + 6z = 24
5y + 7z = 24 (5)
From (4), y = 4 -z. Substitute into (5).
5(4 - z) + 7z = 24
2z + 20 = 24
2z = 4
z = 2
y = 4 - z = 4 - 2 = 2
x = y + z = 2 + 2 = 4
Answer: 4 tapers, 2 pillars, 2 jars.
Original position of the submarine below the Surface = -2 2/3= -8/3
Submarine at a depth of -2 2/3 feet descended by 5 1/2 feet.
So new position of the Submarine = 
To Reach the surface submarine must rise = 0-(-49/6)
As seen from the equation the two negative sign [(-)(-)] will change into a positive sign.
At the surface the position of the submarine = +49/6 feet
