How high is the stack of the two books? novel and 3/4 inches and dicitonary 41/2

sergejj [24]

3/4 + 4 1/2 = 5 1/4

If you mean that the dictionary is 41/2 then the answer = 3/4 + 20 1/2 = 21 1/4. That's a big diction though and not likely measured correctly.

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions ; 7+9(-6+8)

Grace [21]

Start by multiplying the 9 out:

9(-6 + 8y) = -54 + 72y

Then, add the 7:

-54 + 72y + 7

Then simplify the whole thing:

-47 + 72y

If y varies directly as x, and y is 18 when x is 5, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 11?

Leokris [45]

Answer: The value of y is 39.6 when x = 11 and the required expression is y(11) = 39.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

y varies directly as x.

If y = 18, when x = 5.

So, we need to find the value of y when x is 11.

According to question, we get that

$\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{18}{5}=\dfrac{y}{11}\\\\18\times 11=5y\\\\198=5y\\\\\dfrac{198}{5}=y\\\\y=39.6$

Hence, the value of y is 39.6 when x = 11 and the required expression is y(11) = 39.6
