Answer:

169

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a proportion:

72/85=x/200

Solve for x

(72)(200)=85x

x=(72)(200)/85

x=169.41≈ 169

She can make 169 of 200 free throws.

If varies inversely as . It is known that = 10 when = 3, find the value of when = 5.

Leto [7]

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If x varies inversely proportional as y.

$x=\dfrac{k}{y}$ , k is constant of proportionality

k = xy

When x = 3 and y = 10

k = 3×10

k = 30

Put x = 5,

$y=\dfrac{k}{x}\\\\y=\dfrac{30}{5}\\\\y=6$

So, the value of y is 6 when x is 5.

Answer:

c. (2, -18)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x - 8

y = 3x - 24

3x - 24 = -5x - 8

8x = 16

x = 2

y = 3x - 24

y = 3(2) - 24

y = 6 - 24

y = -18
