Victoria saved $150 from babysitting and donated 10% to the local animal shelter how much of the $150 did Victoria donate?

Y varies inversely with x, and k (the constant of variation) = 1.24. What is the value of y when x = 4.96?

V125BC [204]

Answer:= y = 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

In inverse variation, both variables move in opposite directions. This means that as variable 1 increases, variable 2 reduces and as variable 1 reduces, variable 2 increases.

Y varies inversely with x.

So as y increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.

We would proceed by introducing a constant of variation, k

y = k/x

From the information given,

The constant of variation, k = 1.24

The value if x = 4.96

To find the value of y

y = k/x = 1.24/4.96

= 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.

If 0.142857142857......is expressed in the form m/n, then what is the value of (2m + n)?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The value will be: 1,285,713

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the number:

N = 0.142857...

Such that we have 6 decimals after the decimal point that repeat infinitely.

Then let's start by multiplying our number by 1,000,000 (same number of zeros as decimals after the decimal point)

Then we get:

1,000,000*N = 142,857.142857...

Now let's subtract N from both sides:

1,000,000*N - N = 142,857.142857... - 0.142857...

999,999*N = 142,857

Now let's isolate N

N = 142,857/999,999

Here is our number expressed in the form m/n, where:

m = 142,857

n = 999,999

Then the value of (2*m + n) is:

(2*142,857 + 999,999) = 1,285,713

Solve the following using Substitution method 2x – 5y = -13 3x + 4y = 15

Digiron [165]

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Solve the following using Substitution method

2x – 5y = -13

3x + 4y = 15

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 2 x - 5 y = - 13 } \\ { 3 x + 4 y = 15 } \end{array} \right.$

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

$2x-5y=-13, \: 3x+4y=15$

Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

$2x-5y=-13$

Add 5y to both sides of the equation.

$2x=5y-13$

Divide both sides by 2.

$x=\frac{1}{2}\left(5y-13\right) \\$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}\\$ times 5y - 13.

$x=\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2} \\$

Substitute $\frac{5y-13}{2}\\$ for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

$3\left(\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2}\right)+4y=15 \\$

Multiply 3 times $\frac{5y-13}{2}\\$ .

$\frac{15}{2}y-\frac{39}{2}+4y=15 \\$

Add $\frac{15y}{2} \\$ to 4y.

$\frac{23}{2}y-\frac{39}{2}=15 \\$

Add $\frac{39}{2}\\$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{23}{2}y=\frac{69}{2} \\$

Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$\large \underline{ \underline{ \sf \: y=3 }}$

Substitute 3 for y in $x=\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2}\\$ . Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

$x=\frac{5}{2}\times 3-\frac{13}{2} \\$

Multiply 5/2 times 3.

$x=\frac{15-13}{2} \\$

Add $-\frac{13}{2}\\$ to $\frac{15}{2}\\$ by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.
