There would be 1/12 of the cake left.
Answer:
d. - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for direct variation is
y = kx
We know y =3 when x = -9
3 = k(-9)
Divide by -9
3/-9 = -9k/-9
-1/3 = k
The equation is then
y = -1/3 x
We know y = 5
5 = -1/3 x
Multiply each side by -3
-3*5 = -3*-1/3x
-15 = x
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.
To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.
-8 = -( x +4)
-8 = -1 ( x +4) Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign
-8 = -x - 4 Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side
-8 +4 = -x -4 + 4 Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right
-4 = -x
-4 = -1x <= -x is the same at -1x
-4/-1 = -x/-1 <=divide both sides by negative 1
4 = x
x = 4 <= usually we write the variable on the left side
Work:
1) 11y - 3 = 13x
2) 11y = 13x + 3
3) y = 13/11x + 3/11
