Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

    a varies directly as b;

       a ∝ b

 So;

         a  = kb  where k is the constant of proportionality;

if a= 7 and b  = 2;

         7 = 2k

           k = \frac{7}{2}

Now, find b when a = 21

            21  =  \frac{7}{2}  x b

           b  = 6

Identify The domain of the rational function, g(x)= 1/x+3
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The domain is (-∞ , -3) ∪ (-3, ∞) ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The domain of the rational fraction is t</em><em>he values of x which make the fraction defined</em><em>. That means </em><em>the domain does not contain the values of x which make the denominator equal to 0</em><em>.</em>

∵ g(x) = \frac{1}{x+3}

∴ The denominator = x + 3

→ Equate the denominator by 0

∵ x + 3 = 0

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

∴ x = -3

→ That means the domain can not have -3 because it makes the denominator

   equal to 0

∴ The domain is all values of real numbers except x = -3

∴ The domain = {x : x ∈ R, x ≠ -3}

∴ The domain = (-∞ , -3) ∪ (-3, ∞)

The owner of a toy store received a shipment of 1,552 party favors. The party favors came in 28 boxes. The same number of party
Svetradugi [14.3K]

let 


x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box


the total number of party favors is 1,552


27x + y = 1,552


since 1552 = 57*27 + 13


if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.

-5x-14=6y written in standard form
elixir [45]

Answer:

5x + 6y = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form means the x term will be on the farthest left, then the y term next, set equal to the constant (plain number) all by itself on the right.

Like this:

Ax + By = C

So you have

-5x - 14 = 6y

Add 14 to both sides.

-5x = 6y + 14

Subtract 6y from both sides.

-5x - 6y = 14

Also multiply both sides by -1, to make sure your A value (number next to the x) is positive.

5x + 6y = -14
