What number gives a result of -4 when 9 is subtracted from the quotient of the number and 5?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

25

Step by step:

1. prepare the equation

-4 = x/5 - 9

2. add 9 to both sides

-4 = x/5 - 9
+9 +9
5 = x/5

3. multiply both sides by 5

5 = x/5
(5) (5)
25 = x

4. x=25

Hope this helps

It is given that y varies inversely as x^2. If x is decreased by 50%, find the percentage change in y.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

300%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{x^2}$

Required

Find the percentage change in y when x decreased by 50%

First, convert to equation

$y\ = \ \frac{k}{x^2}$

Where k is the constant of proportionality

When x decreased by 50%

$Y = \frac{k}{(x - 0.5x)^2}$

$Y = \frac{k}{(0.5x)^2}$

$Y = \frac{k}{0.25x^2}$

Expand

$Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * \frac{k}{x^2}$

Substitute $\frac{k}{x^2}$ for y

$Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * y$

$Y = 4 * y$

$Y = 4 y$

The percentage change is then calculated as:

$\%Change = \frac{Y - y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{4y - y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{3y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = 3 * 100\%$

$\%Change = 300\%$

<em>The percentage in y is 300%</em>
