Answer:

z is equal to 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When an equation is in the format a/b = c/d, the quickest way to simplify it is to cross multiply.  Each side is multiplied by the other sides denominator, eliminating the division:

\frac{7}{z-1} = \frac{9}{z + 4}\\7(z + 4) = 9(z - 1)\\7z + 28 = 9z - 9\\7z - 9z = -9 - 28\\-2z = -37\\z = 37/2\\z = 18.5

So z is equal to 18.5

If y is directly proportional to x and when y = 35, x = 140, what is the value of x when y = 70?
levacccp [35]

Answer: 280 = x


Step-by-step explanation: Okay you are using this equation! y = kx But you must rearrange it!

When rearranged you get y/x = k

Plug in x and y!

y/x = k

35/140 = k

0.25 = k

Now find the value of x.

You use this formula now, y/k = x

Plug in k from the last problem and y = 70

y/k = x

70/0.25 = x

280 = x

Which is the difference of 21 1/4 - 18 2/4<br> A 2 1/4 B 2 2/4 C 2 3/4 D 3 1/4
PSYCHO15rus [73]
So when you change the mixed numbers into improper fractions, they become 85/4 and 74/4. Your new problem is 85/4-74/4. Basically 85-74. That equals 9. So the improper fraction answer is 9/4. We now make that back into a mixed number, creating 2 1/4, or A.
