<h3>Answer:  1.8x - 4</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Subtract the two expressions

Tomas - Angie = (3x) - (1.2x+4) = 3x - 1.2x-4 = 1.8x-4

This represents how many more miles Tomas jogged compared to Angie.

-------------

A more concrete example would be to say hypothetically

Tomas = 10 miles

Angie = 4 miles

So Tomas - Angie = 10-4 = 6 means he jogged 6 more miles than Angie.

That's why we subtracted. The order of subtraction matters. Saying 10-4 is different from 4-10.

Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 8 when x = –6. What direct variation equation relates x and y? What is the value of y
Agata [3.3K]
Given:
y varies directly with x
y = 8 when x = -6

what is the value of y when x = -2?

y = kx

we need to get the constant of variation.
8 = k(-6)
8/-6 = k
4/-3 = k or - 1 1/3

y = -4/3 (-2)
y = (-4*-2) / 3
y = 8 / 3
y = 2 2/3 OR 2.67

The correct answer is Choice B. y = -1.33x ; 2.67

(x-yi)(3+5i) is the conjugate of 6+24i
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

x=-3

y=3

(-3-3i)(3+5i)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-yi)(3+5i)\\=3x+5xi-3yi+5y\\=(3x+5y)+(5x-3y)i\\

and we have that must equal

6-24i

3x+5y=6

5x-3y=-24 and if we work it we found out that the solutions are

x=-3 and

y=3
