Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y vary inversely, then xy = k where k is the constant of proportion

4(8) = 32 = k

Now, xy = 32

1(x) = 32

x = 32

7/7q+21= x /5q^2-45 then x=?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

x = 5q - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{7q+21}=\frac{x}{5q^{2}-45}\\\\\frac{7}{7(q+3)}=\frac{x}{5 (q^{2} -9)}\\\\frac{1}{q+3}=\frac{x}{5*(q^{2}-3^{2})}\\\\\frac{1}{q+3}=\frac{x}{5(q+3)(q-3)}\\\\\frac{1}{q+3}*5*(q+3)(q-3)=x\\\\5(q-3)=x\\\\x= 5q-15$

In rectangle KLMN, KM =6x +16 and LN =49. Find the value of X

wolverine [178]

The answer is 5.5

In a rectangle, lengths of diagonals are equal. If you draw the rectangle, you can see that KM and LN are diagonals, so they must be equal:
KM = LN

KM = 6x + 16
LN = 49

6x + 16 = 49
6x = 49 - 16
6x = 33
x = 33/6
x = 5.5
