Answer:

x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation equation is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = 5.5 when x = 11, we can write 5.5 = 11k, which, when solved for k, yields k = 0.5.

Then the direct variation equation in this case is y = 0.5x.

If y = 3.5, what is x? y = 0.5x becomes 3.5 = 0.5x, yielding x = 7

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx

5.5=m×11

5.5÷11=m

m=1/2

y=mx

3.5=1/2×x

3.5÷1/2=x

x=7

Find the circumference of the circle and show work

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

Circumference of a circle is given by

$C = 2\pi \: r$

Given - Diameter of circle = 10 yards

$radius = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{10}{2} \\ \\ \implies \: 5 \: yards$

now ,

substituting the value of r in the formula of circumference ~

$C = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5 \\ \\ \implies \: C = \frac{220}{7} \\ \\ \implies \: C = 31.43 \: yards \: (approx.)$

hope helpful :D

Answer:

x-1 = 0 or x-7 =0

x=1 or x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-1) (x-7) =0

Using the zero product property

x-1 = 0 or x-7 =0

x-1+1 =0 +1 or x-7+7 =0+7

x=1 or x=7
