If x varies as y and if x=20 when y=9 , find x when y=18​

Mathematics

Answer:1/2 y

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using ration reasoning:  

x

2

x

1

=

y

2

y

1

Explanation:

If  

x

varies directly with  

y

(written  

x

∝

y

), then doubling  

y

means doubling  

x

, so the rations of final values and initial values will be the same:

x

2

x

1

=

y

2

y

1

In this case,

x

2

9

=

24

18

x

2

=

9

⋅

24

18

=

12

Or, intuitively, if  

x

∝

y

and  

x

=

9

when  

y

=

18

, we can conclude that

x

=

1

2

y

and  

1

2

of 24 is 12.

I need help I don’t understand this
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say "a" for the empty line,

for small triangle; y^2 = 2^2 + x^2

right triangle; we say a for empty line, a^2= 6^2 + x^2

and big triangle covering both triangles, 8^2 = y^2 + a^2

lets add left sides and right sides in each;

x^2 + 4 + x^2 + 36 + y^2 + a^2 = y^2 + a^2 + 64 and we can delete same things for both sides

y^2 and a^2 can be deleted and 4+36 - 64

2(x^2)=24

x^2= 12

and x will be √12

so, y^2 = x^2 + 2^2 which means y^2 = 12+4 y=16

Which of the following methods would be the easiest to use to solve x2 + 5x – 6 = 0?
EastWind [94]
For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.
