Answer:

$y=9x$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem we have

y=18 when x=2

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$ ----> $k=\frac{18}{2}=9$

therefore

The equation is equal to

$y=9x$

A player at a basketball camp set a goal to make 55% if his shots. If he has 120 attempts, how many shots would he need to make

Pavel [41]

Answer: 66

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a player at a basketball camp set a goal to make 55% if his shots and that he has 120 attempts.

The number of shots that he would he need to make in order to reach his goal will be 55% of 120. This will be:

= 55% × 120

= 55/100 × 120

= 0.55 × 120

= 66

He would need to make 66 shots

4x + 5y = 10

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

For A = 32/5 and B = 8 the system of equations will have infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

4x + 5y = 10

Ax + By = 16

The general form of linear equation in two variables is given by:

$ax+by = c$

Here a, b and c are constants and x,y are variables.

In the given equations, after comparing with the general form

$a_1 = 4\\b_1 = 5 \\c_1 = 10\\a_2 = A\\b_2 =B\\c_2 = 16$

"In order for a system of equations to have infinity many solutions,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}$ "

Putting the values we get

$\frac{4}{A} = \frac{5}{B} = \frac{10}{16}\\\frac{4}{A} = \frac{5}{B} = \frac{5}{8}\\Now\\\frac{4}{A} = \frac{5}{8}\\\frac{A}{4} = \frac{8}{5}\\A = \frac{8}{5} * 4\\A = \frac{32}{5}\\And\\\frac{5}{B} = \frac{5}{8}\\\frac{B}{5} = \frac{8}{5}\\B = 8$

Hence,

For A = 32/5 and B = 8 the system of equations will have infinitely many solutions.
