Answer:

x = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = - 18 when x = 3 , then

- 18 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

- 6 = k

y = -6x ← equation of variation

When y = 30 , then

30 = - 6x ( divide both sides by - 6 )

- 5 = x

Answer:

$y \: varies \: directly \: as \: x \: mean \\ \: y \: increase \: or \: decrease \: with \: x \\ y = - 18 \: \: \: \: x = 3 \\ y = 30 \: \: \: x = ? \\ - 18 ? = 90 \\ ? = - 5 = x$

Find the perimeter of the colored part of the figure. The figure is composed of small squares with side-length 1 unit and curves

harina [27]

Answer:

16.56 in

Step-by-step explanation:

4 sides of the squares are exposed

The radius of each semicircle is 1 since they are against 2 squares.

2pi*r=circumfrence

2pi*1=6.28

6.28/2=3.14 because it's a semicircle

3.14*4=12.56 because there are 4 equal semicircles

12.56+4=16.56

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial.

mojhsa [17]

To split this trinomial into two binomials, let's try and find two numbers which add to 6 and multiply to 8. To do this, we can list all the factors of 8 and then choose which factors also add to 6.

Factors of 8: (1, 8), (2, 4)

1 + 8 = 9, meaning that 1 and 8 are not the factors we are looking for. However, 2 and 4 do add to 6. By combining these numbers which an x (so that we can produce the $x^2$ term at the front of the trinomial), we find the binomials:
