Rihanna works in a coffee shop approximately nine miles from her apartment She bikes every day from her apartment to the coffee

shop and then back to her apartment in the evening. However, on her way to work, she always stops halfway through to meet her best friend at a park. If the distance from apartment to the park is (5x +2) miles and the trip from the park to the coffee shop is (25x -8) miles long, then what is the value of x?

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When we add up the distance between the apartment and park with the distance between the park and the coffee shop, the total will equal nine miles.

Our equation will look like this:

(5x + 2) + (25x - 8) = 9

Add up the like terms

5x + 2 + 25x - 8 = 9

30x - 6 = 9

Add 6 to both sides

30x - 6 = 9

      + 6  + 6

30x = 15

Divide both sides by the coefficient, 30, to isolate the variable, x

30x/30 = 15/30

x = 15/30

Reduce

x = 1/2

in a proportional relationship the ratio y/x is constant. Show that this ratio is not constant for the equation y=a-14
Colt1911 [192]

To show that the ratio \frac{y}{x} is not constant for the function y=a-14 we only need to evaluate this function at 2 points and then show that the ratio is not the same for those two points. Note that here a represents x.  

To find the counter examples here, I will use the values a=20  and a=28. For a = 20 , the equation tells us that the output is

y=20-14=6. For this value of a the point is point is (20,6). The ratio \frac{y}{x} =\frac{6}{20}. For the a=28, y=28-14=14. For this value of a the  point is (28,14) . The ratio \frac{y}{x} =\frac{14}{28} =\frac{1}{2}. Clearly this ratio is not constant for all ordered pairs.

Xy=4n+3, yz=2n-7, xz=22
larisa86 [58]

Set 4n+3 equal to zero

4n+3=0

4n=-3

n=-3/4

Set 2n-7 equal to zero

2n-7=0

2n=7

n=7/2

and XZ=22
