Answer:
y is 8/5 when x = -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the value of "Y" varies directly with "X", we can write y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.
If "y=-8,when x=20," then we can find k: -8 = 20k, or k = -2/5.
Then y = (-2/5)x.
If x = -4, then y = (-2/5)(-4) = 8/5
y is 8/5 when x = -4.
Equation=2a+3b=$14
=4a+5b=$24
Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 2 to get the value of b....
8a+12b=56 -
8a+10b=48
2b=8
b=$4
If the price of an orange is $4 we can now find the price of an apple by
.................2a+(3*$4)=$14
............2a+12=14........2a=2
a=1
So the cost of an apple is $1 and that of an orange is $4
......Hope it helps you
Answer:
x+ 3/2y= 15
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+12y=120
To put the equation into standard form, the leading coefficient has to be 1. So, divide the whole equation by 8.
x+ 3/2y= 15
