Answer:

x = 9

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up equations:

x + y = 15

x - y = 3

Let's rearrange one of these equations to use the substitution method:

x - y = 3

Add y to each side:

x = y + 3

Substitute in for x:

x + y = 15

y + 3 + y = 15

Combine like terms:

( y + y ) + 3 = 15

2y + 3 = 15

Subtract 3 from each side:

2y = 12

Divide each side by 2:

y = 6

Substitute this in to find the other variable:

x + y = 15

x + 6 = 15

Subtract 6 from each side:

x = 9

Y is directly proportional to 1 over the square root of x if y = 7 when x = 36 find y when x = 4
Alecsey [184]

Step-by-step explanation:

y |X(the sign for protionality) 1/√x

y = 7 when x = 36

y = k/√x

7 = k/√36

7 = k / 6 cross multiply

k = 7×6

k = 42

find y when x is 4

y = 42/√x

y = 42/√4

y = 42/2

y = 21
