Answer: 1) B is correct, constant of variation is -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
Direct variation states that a relationship between the two variables. we say y varies directly as x
i.e, or y =kx.................[1] ; where k is the constant of variation.
Given the equation:
Divide both sides by -4 we get;
Simplify:
.......[2]
On comparing equation [2] with [1] we get;
k = -2
This is a one variable equation in algebra.
X = 2
Answer:
Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a trapezoid is equal to
A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h
we have
b1=16 cm
b2=24 cm
h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm
substitute
A=(1/2)[16+24](8)
A=160 cm²
<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)
Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"
so
(24+16)=(16+24)
A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²
<em>Verify Tara's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)
A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²
7x-23+11x+23=180
4x+0=180
4x/4=180/4
X=45
Answer: x=45
Answer: 1. X+2
2. 6x-3
3. -2x-1
4. 9x5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. X+4-3+1 There is only one variable, so you don’t need to worry about that. Just do all of the numerical operations. 4-3+1= 2. So it would be x+2
2. X-5+5x+2. Again, do the numerical operations first. -5+2=-3. X+5x=6x. So it would be 6x-3.
3. 2x+7-4x-8. 7-8=-1. 2x-4x=-2x. So it would be -2x-1.
4. (4+3)x+2x-5. Do the operation in the parenthesis first. Then it would be (7)x or just 7x+2x-5. Simplify to 9x-5.
