-12x < -12

Divide both sides by -12 and because you are dividing by a negative number you need to reverse the inequality sign.

The answer becomes x > 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x < -12

-12x/-12= x

-12/-12= 1

x < 1

Answer:

$y=3x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line with the slope $m$ and passing through the point $(x_0,y_0)$ is

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

In your case,

$m=3\\ \\x_0=3\\ \\y_0=6$

Hence, the equation of the line is

$y-6=3(x-3)\\ \\y-6=3x-9\\ \\y=3x-9+6\\ \\y=3x-3$

Suppose that y varies inversely as x, and x=9 when y=15. Find the value for k and write the function. Group of answer choices La

Radda [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition that x = 9 when y = 15

15 = $\frac{k}{9}$ ( multiply both sides by 9 )

k = 135

y = $\frac{135}{x}$ ← equation of variation

Ming was planning a trip to Western Samoa. Before going, she did some research and learned that the exchange rate is 6 Tala for

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

18 Tala.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have that Ming learned that the exchange rate is 6 Tala for $2. Therefore, if she exchanged $6, she would get:

$\frac{6}{2}=\frac{x}{6}$

2. Now, you must solve for $x$ , which is sthe amount of Tala:

$x=\frac{(6)(6)}{2}\\x=\frac{36}{2}\\x =18$

3. Therefore, she would get 18 Tala.
