Tim has 5 times as many stamps as rylis.. They have 1038 stamps in all.. How many more stamps does Tim have than rylis?
lianna [129]
Since Tim's stamps are 5 times as many, set up the equation:

1038=5s+1s
1038/6=173=s

Ryli has 173 stamps, and Tim has 865.
Subtract 173 from 865 and you get 692 stamps more.

The quantities x and y are proportional. x y 15 5 25 8, start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction 33 11 Find the constant o
TEA [102]

Question:

The quantities x and y are proportional.

x 15 25

y 5 8⅓

Find the constant of proportionality.

Answer:

r = ⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality, we make use of the following formula

y = rx

Where y is the given data in the y row

r is the constant of proportionality

x is the given data in the x row.

Using the first values of x and y.

When x = 15, y = 5.

So,

y = rx becomes

5 = r * 15

5 = 15r

Divide through by 15

5/15 = 15r/15

⅓ = r

r = ⅓

Taking the second values of x and y

when x = 25, y = 8⅓

So,

y = rx becomes

8⅓ = r * 25

8⅓ = 25r

Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction

25/3 = 25r

Divide through by 25

25/3 ÷ 25 = 25r/25

25/3 * 1/25 = r

25/75 = r

⅓ = r

r = ⅓

Notice that r = ⅓ is the same for both values of x and y.

Hence, the constant of proportionality is ⅓

HELP NEEDED : Solve this using ELIMINATION:<br><br> 8x + 8y = 240<br> 4x + y = 54<br><br> Please!!!!
Licemer1 [7]

4x + y = 54

8x + 2y = 104

8x + 8y - (8x + 2y) = 240 - 104

6y = 136

y=22 2/3

4x+ 22 2/3 = 54

4x= 31 1/3

x= 7 5/6
