Answer:

\huge \purple{ \boxed{ y =  \frac{2}{3} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the variables x and y are inversely proportional.

\therefore \: y  \:  \: \alpha \:  \:  \frac{1}{x}  \\  \implies \: y =  \frac{k}{x} \\ (k = constant)  \\  \implies \: xy = k ...(1)\\ plug \: y = 2, \:  \: x = 3   \: in  \: equation \: (1) \\ we \: find \\ 2 \times 3 = k \\ k = 6 \\ plug \:k = 6   \: in  \: equation \: (1)  \\ xy = 6 \\ (this \: is \: the \: equation \: of \: variation) \\ when \: x = 9 \:  \: y =?  \\  \\ 9y = 6 \\  y =  \frac{6}{9}  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ y =  \frac{2}{3} }}

Y+5=x+3 in standard form
podryga [215]

Answer: x-y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y+5=x+3; move variable (x) to the left-hand side and change the sign.

y-x+5=3; move the constant to the right-hand side & change the sign

y+x=3-5; reorder the terms

-x+y=3-5; calculate

-x+y=-2; change the signs on both sides

x-y=2 is your answer! hope this helps!

PLS HELP!!!<br> factor:<br><br> a. 16b^2c^12-0.25<br><br> b. 81x^6y^2-0.36a^2
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.   16b^2c^12-0.25 can be rewritten as follows because it is the difference of two squares:

(4bc^6 - .5)(4bc^6 + .5)

b.   81x^6y^2-0.36a^2

is the difference of two squares, just like (a) (above); its factors are:

(9x^3y - 0.6a)(9x^3y + 0.6a)
