suppose that Y varies directly with X andY equals 12 when X equals -2 what is X when Y equals -6

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation equation has the following format:

[tex]y=kx[/tex]

Where k is a constant.

We know that y is 12 when x is -2. Thus, substitute:

[tex]12=-2k[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2:

[tex]k=-6[/tex]

So, our direct variation equations is:

[tex]y=-6x[/tex]

To find what x is when y equals -6, substitute in -6 for y:

[tex]-6=-6x[/tex]

Divide both sides by -6:

[tex]x=1[/tex]

So, our answer is 1 :)

If 5y + 2 = 8/3, what is the value of 5y - 6?

Answers

Answer:

5y - 6 = (-16)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Step:

Solve for y:

5 y + 2 = 8/3

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5 y + (2 - 2) = 8/3 - 2

2 - 2 = 0:

5 y = 8/3 - 2

Put 8/3 - 2 over the common denominator 3. 8/3 - 2 = 8/3 + (3 (-2))/3:

5 y = 8/3 - (2×3)/3

3 (-2) = -6:

5 y = 8/3 + (-6)/3

8/3 - 6/3 = (8 - 6)/3:

5 y = (8 - 6)/3

8 - 6 = 2:

5 y = 2/3

Divide both sides by 5:

y = (2/5)/3

3×5 = 15:

Answer:  y = 2/15

2. Step.

Evaluate 5 y - 6 where y = 2/15:

5 y - 6 = 5×2/15 - 6

5×2/15 = (5×2)/15:

(5×2)/15 - 6

5/15 = 5/(5×3) = 1/3:

2/3 - 6

Put 2/3 - 6 over the common denominator 3. 2/3 - 6 = 2/3 + (3 (-6))/3:

2/3 - (6×3)/3

3 (-6) = -18:

2/3 + (-18)/3

2/3 - 18/3 = (2 - 18)/3:

(2 - 18)/3

2 - 18 = -(18 - 2):

(-(18 - 2))/3

Can u guys PLEASE answer this question ASAP. A fat cat that was initially 12 kg reduces its weight by 10% each month. How long does it take for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter than its original weight? Give your answer as a whole number of months.

Answers

Answer:

It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter than the original weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use exponential decay formula:

A = P (1-r)t

A = amount decreased to

P = original amount

r = rate of decrease

t = time

 

6 ≥ 12 (1-0.10)t      divide both sides by 12

0.5 ≥ (0.9)t            take log of both sides

log (0.5) ≥ log (0.9)t     power rule of logs lets the exponent t drop to front of log to become a factor

log (0.5) ≥ t log(0.9)     divide both sides by log(0.9) which is negative so reverse the inequality sign

log (0.5) / log (0.9) ≤ t     use calculator

6.57 ≤ t

 

It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter that original weight.

Take the three and distribute it to every number in the parentheses, you should have 15x + 27 - 12x, now you want to bring the -12x on the other side to make things easier and now you should have -12x + 15x + 27, quickly add the -12x and the 15x to get 3x, now you should have 3x + 27, you can’t really manipulate this in any other way shape or form so this should be your simplification.

A seagull is floating on the surface of the ocean when it takes off and flies upward at a rate of 4 ft per second. After 19 seconds, how far away from the surface of the water will the seagull be?

Answers

Answer:

d = 76 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the speed of 4 ft per second when it takes off and flies upward

We need to find how far away from the surface of the water will the seagull be after 9 seconds.

Speed is distance over time.

So,

Distance, d = vt

d=4 ft/s × 19 s

d=76 meters

So, the seagull will be at a distance of 76 m from the surface of water.

The value will be greater than 1 because (-3)+(-9) is a positive number. A number in scientific notation with a
positive exponent has a value greater than 1.
The value will be greater than 1 because (-3)-(-9) - 6. A number in scientific notation with a positive exponent is
greater than 1.
The value will be less than 1 because 5.88 - 8.54 is less than 1. The negative exponents will make it even smaller.
The number will be less than 1 because 5.68 x 10- is a very small number and division always makes the size of a
