Answer:

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 4 when y = 15 , then

15 = $\frac{k}{4}$ ( multiply both sides by 4 )

60 = k

y = $\frac{60}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 6 , then

y = $\frac{60}{6}$ = 10

Answer:

<h2>The total value of all the letters in the alphabet is 676.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is about an arithmetic sequence where the difference is 2, the first term is 1 and we know that the alphabet has 26 letters.

To find the total sum of all values, we have to use the following formula

$S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}(2a_{1}+(n-1)d )$

Where $n=26$ , $a_{1}=1$ and $d=2$ . Replacing values, we have

$S_{26}=\frac{26}{2}(2(1)+(26-1)2) =13(2+50)=13(52)=676$

Therefore, the total value of all the letters in the alphabet is 676.

Which 2 teams scored a total of 100 points, red has 29 points, yellow has 38 points, Green has 41 points, blue has 76 points ora

Bess [88]

Answer:

Blue and Black

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! i think you're asking which of the 2 teams' points added together equal 100. if so, it would be blue and black because 76 + 24 = 100.

broken down: 70 + 20 = 90, 6 + 4 = 10, 90 + 10 = 100 :)

hope i understood this right!

User: Translate the following words to algebra symbols, using "n" as the variable. Seven is two less than twice a number.

7 = 2n - 2

n= a number so twice a number is 2n and 7 is 2 less than twice this number.
