If y varies directly as x and y = 5.5 when x = 11, find x when y = 3.5

Mathematics

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

What is the value of x in the diagram?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

They are vertical angles; so angles are congruent

*<em>Vertical angles are always congruent*</em>

<em>Congruent means equal or same.</em>

1) Since they are congruent, you form an equation.

<h2>145 = 2x + 15</h2>

2) Solve by subtracting 15 from both sides.

<h2>145 = 2x + 15</h2><h2>- 15            -15</h2><h2>----------------------</h2><h2>130 = 2x</h2>

3) Solve by dividing 2 from both sides

<h2>130/2 = 2x/2</h2>

4) Simplify

x = 65

Solve for x<br> 4(1 - x) + 2x = -3 (x + 1)
Blababa [14]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

4(1 - x) + 2x = -3 (x + 1)

4 - 4x + 2x = - 3x - 3

- 4x + 2x + 3x = - 3 - 4

x = -7

What is the relationship between the variance and standard deviation? variance is the positive square root of the standard devia
lana [24]

Variance of a continuous random variable X is defined as

\int\limits_D {(x-\mu)^2f(x)} \, dx

Standard deviation is defined as

\sigma =  \sqrt{Var(X)}

Hence standard deviation is the positive square root of variance.
