Missing part in the heading of the question:
"The force f (in pounds) required to push a sofa across the floor varies directly as the weight w (in pounds) of the sofa"

Answer:
F = 0.625 w

Explanation:
We are given that F in pounds varies directly with the weight of the sofa in pounds.
This means that:
F = kw
where:
F is the force
k is the constant of proportionality
w is the weight of the sofa

We are given that:
F is 100 pounds when w is 160 pounds

Substitute with these givens in the above equation to get the constant of proportionality k as follows:
F = kw
100 = 160k
k = 100 / 160
k = 0.625

This means that the equation describing the relation between the force and the weight of the sofa is:
F = 0.625 w

Hope this helps :)

Simpfily -39 + 3/2(10)
likoan [24]

Answer:

-38.85   or -24

Step-by-step explanation:

What I do is start with the brackets along with the rest of the numbers involved

2(10) is basically 2 x 10= 20

-39 + 3/20

3/20 = 0.15

-39 + 0.15 = -38.85

Unless if 3/2(10) has 3/2 as a fraction, the answer would be -24
