Answer:

Solving a Direct Variation Problem

Write the variation equation: y = kx or k = y/x.

Substitute in for the given values and find the value of k.

Rewrite the variation equation: y = kx with the known value of k.

Substitute the remaining values and find the unknown.

9) Let<br> X-2, x, x+3 <br> be the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence. FInd the value of x..
Reil [10]
Hello,

Let's r the ration

We suppose x ≠0

x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)

x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6

x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2

Ration 3/2
First term: 4

Sandra needs to make 500 L hand sanitizer with 75% alcoholic solution. He has only two of the alcoholic solutions available, a 6
shtirl [24]

If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500

litres, and it contains

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375

litres of alcohol.

Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>

<em />

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375

0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375

75 = 0.25<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 300

Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - 300

<em>y</em> = 200

So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.

What is the standard form equation of the line shown below?
ch4aika [34]
(-1,1)(1,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (1 - (-1) = 3/(1 + 1) = 3/2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
use either of ur points....(1,4)...x = 1 and y = 4
now sub and find b, the y int
4 = 3/2(1) + b
4 = 3/2 + b
4 - 3/2 = b
8/2 - 3/2 = b
5/2 = b

equation is y = 3/2x + 5/2...but we need it in standard form

y = 3/2x + 5/2
-3/2x + y = 5/2.....multiply both sides by -2
3x - 2y = -5 <==== ur standard form equation
