<span>In order to determine how many pennies John has in each box, we have to divide 2,456 (total number of pennies) by 3 (total number of boxes). This means there are 819 (rounded) pennies in each one of John's boxes.</span>
Answer:
78 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of trees planted = Area of square
No. of trees planted = 6084
Row = side of square
Side = √(Area)
Side = √(6084)
Side = 78 trees
Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.
A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:
The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies
The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.
Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.
This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.
This leaves C as the odd one out.
I hope this helps you :)
Franco:
3x+2y=19
Caryl:
2x+4y=24
now use elimination
-2(3x+2y=19)
1(2x+4y=24)
=
-6x-4y=-38
2x+4y=24
add them together
which equals -4x=-14
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4=-14/-4
x=7/2
we found x, so we subsitute it into the the original equation
3x+2y=19
3(7/2)2y=19
2y+21/2=19
-21/2 -21/2
2y=17/2
divide by 2 on both sides
2y/2= 17/2/2
y=17/4
so x= 7/2 and y= 17/4
