Answer:

Option C = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In principle when a function <em>f(x) </em>varies directly with <em>x</em> it suggests that any changes in x results in the equivalent changes in<em> f(x)</em>. If we have two variables, i.e. <em>y</em> representing<em> f(x)</em> and <em>x</em> representing itself, any increment/decrement in <em>x</em> will result to the same increment/decrement in <em>y</em> by a factor <em>a, thus we can say that y = ax, implying y and x have the same ratio. </em>

In the given question we know that <em>f(x) = 45</em> when x=9<em>, </em>which translates as

f(x=9) = 45

This tells us that f(x) varies by a factor (lets call it) a for a given value of x.

To find this factor we can just divide 45 with 9 which gives: \frac{45}{9} = 5

Thus the factor a here is a=5 which finally tells us that

f(x) = 5x    Eqn (1) our original function.

Since we now know our function we can plug in the value for x=3 and solve for f(x=3) as follow:

f(x=3)= 5*3

f(x=3) = 15

f(3) = 15

Looking at the given options in the question we can conclude that the correct answer is Option C = 15

Anthony has a combination of 104 nickels and quarters totaling $22. Which system of linear equations can be used to find the num
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The answer is c and we'll use c to get the actual answers.

A) n + q = 104

B) .05n + .25q = 22 we'll multiply B) by -4

B) -.2n -1q = -88 then we add A)

A) n + q = 104 which equals

.8n = 16

n = 20 nickels

q = 84 quarters

20 nickels = $1

84 quarters = $21

Successful!!!
