Answer:
No.The answer should be -4.1
Step-by-step explanation:
1+4(3x-10)-12
5(3x-10)-12
15x-50-12
15x-62
x=-62/15
x=-4.1
Answer:
y = 17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion
To find k use the condition y = 35 when x = 140, then
35 = 140k ( divide both sides by 140 )
0.25 = k
y = 0.25x ← equation of proportion
When x = 70, then
y = 0.25 × 70 = 17.5
Answer:
y = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
direct variation
y =kx
substitute in what we know to find k
1/2 = k*3
solve for k
divide by 3
1/2 /3 = k
1/6 = k
substitute k into the direct variation equation
y = 1/6 x
let x = 1
y = 1/6 *1
y = 1/6
Answer:
x=14.02
Step-by-step explanation:
Use b=
to solve for the missing side in the triangle. You will get a rounded answer of 8.49. Then you multiply that by 2 and subtract that value from 31. Then that will be your answer.
So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27
so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100 so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48
Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995
