Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

if the train is traveling 90 miles in 2 hours then its going 45 mph so 25 + 45 = 70 and 70 mph is 140 in 2 so then the equation is true

Suppose y varies directly with x. if y=-3 when x=5 find y when x=-1

Scrat [10]

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x

&& y={{ k }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{we know that, when}
\begin{cases}
y=-3\\
x=5
\end{cases}\implies y=kx\implies (-3)=k(5)$

solve for "k", to find the "constant of variation",
then plug it back in the y = kx, to get the equation
now
what's is y when x = -1?
well, just plug that in the equation with the found "k" value,
to get "y" :)

On discovering that her family had a 70% risk of heart attack, Erin took a treadmill test to check her own potential of having a

Ghella [55]

The probability of Erin not having a heart attack according to her family history would be 30%.

The probability of the test predicting correctly is 67%.

Therefore, the probability of the test correctly predicting that Erin will not have a heart attack would be (0.30)(0.67) = 0.201 or 20.1%.
