"y varies directly as x" means y = kx
you do not know what k is yet, other than that it is some constant number.
Now plug in the given values, y=12 when x=4, in the equation
12 = 4k
=> k = 3
Now rewrite the equation with the k value you just found
y = 3k
Substitute 18 in place of x
y = 3(18)
y = 54
Answer:
10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 24
3x+5y = 100
We can solve this system of equations using elimination. In order to do this, let's first multiply the first equation by 3...
3x+3y=72
3x+5y=100
Now, subtract the first equation from the second equation...
2y=28
Divide both sides by 2
y=14
Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for x...
x+14=24
x=10
There were 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions
Answer:
<h2><em>11.6%</em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of getting a 6 is 1/6.
The probability of not getting a 6 is 5/6
We roll a die 4 times and want 2 sixes, and 2 not sixes.
i.e.exact 2 6's
We want a combination of 2 sixes from 4 rolls, so we can use the binomial formula to solve this
(4C2)(1/6)²(5/6)² = 6(1/36)(25/36) = (1/6)(25/36) = 25/216 = 0.1157
Nearest tenth of percent is 0.1157×100=11.6%
Ans :11.6%
The answer is sometimes true
