<span>If y varies directly with x, the formula of the equation is y=ax, where a is a constant.
y=ax
(21)=a(7)
a=3
y=ax
y=(3)(-1.66)
y=-4.98, x=-1.66
If y varies inversely with x, the formula of the equation is y=a/x, where a is a constant
y=a/x
9=a/2.5
a=22.5
y=22.5/x
y=22.5/-0.6
y=-37.5
I hope this helped! =)
I hope you didn't mind but I got this from a website called: answers.yahoo.com but I got your answer.

Answer:
The answer is 10 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert the known amount of time to a fraction.
6/21 (min over hot dogs).
Set up a proportion.
6/21 = m/35 (m being the number of minutes)
Cross multiply.
210 = 21m
Solve for m. (divide each side by 21)
m = 10

Answer: he can fit 4 boxes in his attic
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one length be x and the other be y
x + x + y + y = 440
2x + 2y = 440
Divide by 2 through ...
x + y = 220
y = 220 - x
Area = xy
Area = x(220 -x) = 220x -

Given that that max length of x will be -b/2a
a = -1 b = 220
x =

= 110
x = 110
y = 220 - 110 = 110
Therefore max area = 110 x 110 = 12100 square yards
