Answer:

x = -6

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 3

x + y = 3

twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number

2y = 3x + 36

Divide both sides by 2

y = 1.5x + 18

substitute for y in the first equation

x + (1.5x + 18) = 3

2.5x = -15

divide both sides by 2.5

x = -6

Substitute for x in the first equation

-6 + y = 3

y = 9

6. The variable x and y vary directly, and y = 40 when x = 5. Which equation relates the variables?
valkas [14]

Answer:

The equation relates the variables is y = 8x ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y vary directly (y ∝ x), then y = k x, where

  • k is the constant of variation
  • k can be found using the initial value of x and y

∵ The variable x and y vary directly

∴ y ∝ x

→ By using the rule above

∴ y = k x

∵ y = 40 when x = 5

∴ The initial values of x and y are x = 5 and y = 40

→ Substitute them in the equation above to find k

∵ 40 = k(5)

∴ 40 = 5k

→ Divide both sides by 5

∵ \frac{40}{5} = \frac{5k}{5}

∴ 8 = k

→ Substitute the value of k in the equation above

∴ y = 8x

∴ The equation relates the variables is y = 8x
