Answer:

T = 96

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that the time, T (seconds) it takes for a pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting, H. This can be written as:

T ∝ 1/H

T = K/H

Cross multiply

K = TH

Next, we shall determine the value of K. This can be obtained as follow:

H = 8

T = 120

K =?

K = TH

K = 120 × 8

K = 960

Finally, we shall determine the value of T when H = 10. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

H = 10

K = 960

T =.?

T = K/H

T = 960/10

T = 96

To amend U.S. Constitution, 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment. If 35 states approve an amendment, will the Constit
Elodia [21]
To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended

Compare Look at these equations. Do you think they are all linear equations? Can they
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Yes they can all be written in y = mx + b. You just have to move the terms around.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x -3, this is already in slope-intercept form

Now, y - 2 = x + 2: We can add 2 on both sides to cancel out the one on the left side:

y - 2 = x + 2

y - 2 + 2 = x + + 2

y = x + 4 <-- This is in y = mx + b form

Now the last one, 3x = 9 + 3y

We can first divide all terms by 3,

3x = 9 + 3y

/3     /3   /3

x = 3 + y: Then we can subtract 3 from both sides:

x - 3 = 3 + y - 3

x - 3 = y

These are all linear equations because none of the x's have bigger powers than 1. x^2 is a quadratic equation and x^3 is cubic equation.
