Answer:

  • y = -6/x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inverse variation equation:</u>

  • y = k/x, where k - coefficient

<u>We have:</u>

  • x = 6, y = -1

<u>Work out the value of k by substituting the values of x and y:</u>

  • -1 = k / 6
  • k = -1*6
  • k = -6

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • y = -6/x

Answer:

y = -6/x

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely as x

So, y = k/x, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = -1 when x = 6,

Then, -1 = k/6 ===> k = -6

Therefore, y = -6/x

Given that:

(x+2)(2x-5)=54

We have:
2x^2-x-64=0

Using the quadratic formula, this is approximately 5.66, so rounded to the nearest whole number, our answer is 6.

The ordered pair (3,9) is a solution to the system of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

(2,7) is not a solution to the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation is:

2x + 3 = y

2x + y = 15

To check whether (2,7) is solution to this system or not, we will put x=2 and y=7 in both equations.

Putting x=2 and y=7 in Eqn 1

2(2) + 3 = 7

4 + 3 = 7

7 = 7

Thus the ordered pair satisfies the equation

Putting x=2 and y=7 in Eqn 2

2(2) + 7 = 15

4 + 7 = 15

11 ≠ 15

The ordered pair do not satisfy the second equation.

Hence,

(2,7) is not a solution to the given system of equations.
