A) 5x = 0.4 — 3) Multiple by 1/5

B) x/5 = 8 — 1) Multiple by 5

C) 3 = -x/5 — 2) Multiple by -5

D) 7 = -5x — 4) Multiple by -1/5

Explanation:

A:
5x = 0.4

5x • 1/5 = 0.4 • 1/5

x = 2/25 or 0.08

B:
x/5 = 8

x/5 • 5 = 8 • 5

x = 40

C:
3 = -x/5

3 • -5 = -x/5 • -5

-15 = x

x = -15

D:
7 = -5x

7 • -1/5 = -5x • -1/5

-7/5 = x

x = -7/5 or -1.4

Hope it helps!

If log x+y/5 = 1/2(log x + log y) the find the value of x/y + y/x ?

V125BC [204]

Given that

log (x+y)/5 =( 1/2) {log x+logy}

We know that

log a+ log b = log ab

⇛log (x+y)/5 =( 1/2) log(xy)

We know that log a^m = m log a

⇛log (x+y)/5 = log (xy)^1/2

⇛log (x+y)/5 = log√(xy)

⇛(x+y)/5 = √(xy)

On squaring both sides then

⇛{ (x+y)/5}^2 = {√(xy)}^2

⇛(x+y)^2/5^2 = xy

⇛(x^2+y^2+2xy)/25 = xy

⇛x^2+y^2+2xy = 25xy

⇛x^2+y^2 = 25xy-2xy

⇛x^2+y^2 = 23xy

⇛( x^2+y^2)/xy = 23

⇛(x^2/xy) +(y^2/xy) = 23

⇛{(x×x)/xy} +{(y×y)/xy} = 23

⇛(x/y)+(y/x) = 23

Therefore, (x/y)+(y/x) = 23

Hence, the value of (x/y)+(y/x) is 23.

1. Diego runs a 10 kilometer race and keeps track of his speed. What was diegos speed at the kilometer mark in the race?

yulyashka [42]

Answer: 10 km/ hr

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph below, Diego's speed at various points during his 10 kilometer race is shown on the y axis while the distance is shown on the x axis.

Looking at the 1km mark on the x axis, Diego's speed on the y-axis is at 10km/ hr and this was the speed he started the race with. After the kilometer mark however, his speed changed and went on to increase to 11km/ hr by the second kilometer mark.
